I thank Saint Jude for giving me the will to lose two sizes.

I offer this retablo to Saint Jude because he saved my father’s hand which he cut when while chopping the meat he turned to look at the legs of a girl. The hand wouldn’t heal. So I prayed you, and it healed.

The young girl Ana Maria Suarez was really hung-up on drugs. She was even offering herself on the streets. She thanks Saint Jude with this retablo for her recovery.

Saint Jude Thaddeus, thank you for the happiness you gave me—for The Cheeky. Every day on my way to the bakery, I saw a guy who stared at me. I always looked away and ignored him but one day I noticed that he was following me. Another day he slapped my ass. I felt embarrassed and became very nervous. That’s how I met Sotero and we became a couple.

1975, I met Senaido. I fell in love with his beautiful smile. I didn’t know he was a masochist, and I fell under his charm. But he began to torture me, every day. I bring this retablo to Saint Jude Thaddeus thanking him because Senaido deposit beat me anymore.

Joaquin Aguilar thanks Saint Jude Thaddeus with this retablo because he won the town domino tournament with his help. The things went so well that he even found a girlfriend.

I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus for having met Malena in Zipolite the hot summer of 2002.

Thank you, Saint Jude Thaddeus, for opening my eyes and letting me see that my husband cheated on me with my friend Tencha.

Saint Jude Thaddeus, I thank you and I offer you this retablo because my husband fell asleep and didn’t noticed that I was with the butcher’s son. It was a horrible situation, and I’m sorry for that. I ask you to forgive me, and I’ll never do it again. I promised you if it all would end well, I’d offer you a retablo. And now I do.

Thank you, Saint Jude Thaddeus, for your favors. What a wonderful man Carlitos! He forgave me after I had cheated on him with a friend of his. I swear I’d never cheat on him again. He really cares about me and loves me very much. He spoils me, baths me and cooks for me. What else can I ask for?

I’m immensely grateful to you, Saint Jude, for giving me the will-power to renounce the gluttony.
