God Jesus Christ, I thank you and offer you this because you’re always kind to me. You’re always hanging on the wall, watching and looking after me, with your skin so white and soft, with your long hair all in sweat, and your blood going down your stomach always reminding me about how I make you suffer and you are so good to me. Thanks, and I remain your slave awaiting your coming.

Please, protect my family and my livestock. Thanks!

God bless this fine home.

Hey, you must be crazy, people! Yes, I prayed to both of you, but dam! Chill already. I’m just trying to say thanks and send some gratitude your way for helping me to heal my grandfather’s stomach pain but you two are being assholes! It sucks! Enough already or you get nothing!

I dedicate this retablo to Jesus Christ because the great city of New York approved my project for the Elvis Presley memorial next to the Statue of Liberty.

Jesus tried on a high heel to relate to women.

I offer this retablo to the Zacacalco Crucifix for helping me with the agaves. After selling my pulque I could buy this mule that helps me to deliver more orders in and out of the town. There are a lot of orders now. Bless my work as a pulque gatherer, give me strength and health.

I finally got an electric lawn mower with a single rotating blade thanks to Holy Jesus Christ.

I didn’t understand my dream at all but it looked a lot like one of those Mexican retablos with a guy on a hospital bed with a doctor and a nurse by his side and Jesus Christ crucified to the left.

Thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ I met a very handsome man need Luis.

Holy Face of God, deliver us from the evil and to not make us suffer. Lord Jesus Christ, bless my house, my family, my kids and all houses in the world.

Jesus Christ, thank you for your favors. I thank because my grandson returned alive from the war in Vietnam. I also thank for my grandson came to visit me in Mexico. It might be a last time I see him because I feel very tired and my health is bad.

Thanks to Almighty Jesus I got a car. It’s used but in pretty good condition.
