My husband and I decided to add more variety to our married life. My husband’s idea was very adventurous and reckless. He wanted to jump on me from the wardrobe, like Tarzan. It cost me some bruises and I couldn’t catch my breath for a while. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for my husband refrains from these dangerous role plays. Now we are experimenting only with aromatic oils and other pleasant things.

Thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe, for we got married.

When I broke my leg, Jose Luis Medina visited me every day. He brought me flowers and chocolates and helped me to start walking again. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for such a caring suitor. I’m even thinking to accept his marriage proposal.

Aurora Medina suffered a lot from an unhappy love. She decided to kill herself. When she was about to jump from a cliff, she suddenly felt grabbed and pulled by some hands. Aurora saw that it was the Virgin of Guadalupe who stopped her. After that miraculous salvation, the girl realized that she had no need to commit suicide over some bastard. She thanks the Virgin.

The Padilla brothers set an ambush to kill me right after I would enter the town. But since my horse sprained its ankle, I entered the town afoot among other people going out of the tavern. The bandits didn’t notice me. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for saving my life and dedicate her this retablo.

My neighbor had a giant monstrous cat. It could eat an entire chicken at once. My kitty was scared to go outside. I prayed the Virgin of Guadalupe so that she would help us in this difficult situation. Thanks to the Virgin’s miracle the neighbor moved away and took her cat with her. Now my kitty can walk outside.
