I give infinite thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for letting me arrive to her sanctuary in La Villa. My legs were paining so much, and I was afraid I couldn’t walk. The Virgin sent me the miracle of healing for what I dedicate, with all my faith, this humble retablo.

Nayely thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe in the name of all those women cowardly killed in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. I ask, with all my heart and with tears in my eyes, to repose their souls in the paradise, for the sake of their families’ comfort

I was feeling sick and went to the bed early. I was dreaming. Suddenly I saw big colorful demons dancing around and singing like a chorus. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe because I knew I wasn’t a big sinner after all and my bad deeds weren’t so bad that the devils should come after me. It seemed the Virgin protected me, because the demons began to dance away and escape through the window. I felt relieved. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for saving me from eternal fire.

Virgin of Guadalupe, I thank you because the white shark didn’t eat me but my friend, although it was my leg that was bleeding while we were surfing. I thank you for that.

My bicycle was a part of my life. But my wife wasn’t happy about me dedicating so many time to it. She even kicked the bicycle. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for my wife finally understood that, although I can’t live without my bicycle, I love her much more. She doesn’t get angry anymore.

Thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe, for protecting me. One warm night in May, I was attacked by a handsome man with a knife. I told him I got not a lot of money on me. I said he shouldn’t attack people and I offered him to live with me. I even promised to support him but he refused because he wasn’t from Mexico but from somewhere in Central America.
