Alba Martinez was in hurry because she got an order and had to cook a lot of pies in her small kitchen. She stumbled and drop a pan with boiling oil on herself. She was wearing sandals, so she burned her legs. In such painful moment she entrusted herself to Saint Paschal Baylon. She put an aloe oil on her burns, and the next day she was able to go back to her work routine. She brings this retablo for this miracle.

My wife and I used to work together in the same company. But then one day there were doing cutting of employees and I was fired. So I took upon myself all the house duties, cooking including. It was very hard, everything was going wrong. I implored Saint Paschal’s help, and, after many attempts, my dishes started to turn out good and delicious. I thank for such a miracle, and I even think of opening a budget cafe in my garage.

Our masters asked us to cook a turkey stew for the wedding of their daughter. We were feeling bad to cook the turkeys. So we decided to prepare something else and prayed to Saint Paschal to not getting fired. The masters didn’t get angry with us and even gave us the turkeys. We thank for that.

When I came to work to the Sanchez’ house, I had a lot of troubles with Amelia who was the former cook. She got jealous because my dishes tasted better than hers. So she started to spoil my food. I thank Saint Paschal Baylon for the masters noticed it and scolded her before committing an injustice to me. So I was left in peace.

My husband invited his mother and sisters to stay for a few days with us. I knew they are very demanding and it’s impossible to please them at the kitchen. I thank Saint Paschal for inspiring me to prepare delicious dishes. And the relatives, judging by their faces, remained satisfied with my cooking.

I thank Saint Paschal with this humble retablo because I won the town chiles en nogada contest. Many people ask me about my secret of its delicious taste, and I always say that it is the love that I put in it. My eternal devotion to Saint Paschal.

I was desperate because, since I didn’t know how to cook, all my dishes turned out very bad. I ask Saint Paschal Baylon for help, and now my husband is very happy. He even bought me a lot of pans and pots. My food is very delicious now, and I thank for that.

On a trip to Mexico, I met a wonderful man, and I married him. The problems started when he asked me to cook for him. I didn’t know how to cook Mexican dishes. So I entrusted myself to Saint Paschal Baylon, with all my faith. Step by step, with his help, I learned how to prepare mole, tacos, chalupas, chile en nogada and tamales. Now my husband is very happy.

The demon of the gluttony possessed me and always whispered me “Oh, Lupe, how delicious it is!” So I kept eating and kept getting fat. My family was angry at me because I wouldn’t leave them anything to eat. One day I overate so much, I felt very bad. I prayed Saint Paschal Baylon for help, and he drove the demon away. So now I eat very little.
