I was on summer vacation in Acapulco, and I went to dive. As usual, I had a bad luck and my foot got stuck in corals. Thank God, no less than the Mexican Scuba Diving Champion was passing near by. He was gallant enough to offer me his oxygen tank, and now he’s going to marry me.

I thank the Lord Jesus, because I only broke my index finger nail after a very scary accident with my horse in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Lord Christ, I thank you for saving my brother’s life. He was working when logs fell on his chest. In this terrible situation I asked for your intervention to help him, and now I offer you the retablo.

Venerable Saint Lazarus. After waiting for so many years, finally there is a female Pope. Praise Jesus! Glory to God! We have read and written so many feminist books, and finally, you have heard our prayers. Thank you! We will not let you down!

I’m thanking Our Lord Jesus Christ for letting me see how the devil took this damned brute who had caused the disaster with his crazy driving, when he had run over me and had broken my legs.

Jesus taking the way into and/or out of Bethlehem or into and/or out of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as told by the great prophet Zecariah… But… why a donkey instead of a superlative warhorse?

Since it was a terrible storm outside, I decided to wait until it finished watching TV. Suddenly I heard a very loud boom. I looked out and I saw that my car had been struck and burnt by lightning. I thank Our Lord Jesus Christ for the miracle that I wasn’t in the car at that moment.

On the Day-D in june 1944 we disembarked in Normandy. I saw many of my brother-in-arms dying. I entrusted myself to Our Lord Jesus Christ and now I’m an american citizen. I’m thanking for all favors that I’ve received.
