Virgin of Guadalupe, thank you for liberating me from this bad woman who kept me bewitched. Thanks to you I’m fine and I’m looking for a new love.

That’s how we celebrated that night till dawn with the adelitas (women soldiers) who had taken Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, with the Zaragoza brigade. Thanks to our protectress, Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, the town was surrounded to my general Francisco Villa. Saturday, November 15, 1913, there was a clear victory. Look after our women who risked their lives for this cause.

I went with some friends to the desert to eat peyote. I was far behind and got lost. I didn’t know how to come back home. But suddenly a deer appeared from nowhere. It shone with rainbow colors under the starry sky. It led me to the village and then disappeared. I thank the Virgin for this miracle.

I thank the life that gave me so much and food for all my family and animals. Thanks.

Juanito and Alicia Martinez thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because their cat Rufo who was lost a month ago, has suddenly come back home — a little bit thinner and disheveled, but lively and affectionate as always.

I was very proud of my beautiful garden, but one day it was invaded by swarms of giant snails. Who knows how did they grow up so big, but they began to eat my flowers. I didn’t know what to do, but finally I managed to get rid of them. The Virgin of Guadalupe sent me a great idea to salt around my garden. The snail never came back, and I thank for getting rid of them.

Thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe, because I understood that the woman is just like the devil. That’s why my wife is a bitch.

After the wedding ceremony my fiancé and I ran to the beach. There we took off our shoes and celebrated the beginning of our life together. Then we took a horse and came back to the party. All the old ladies looked at us with reproach but we didn’t care bakes nothing could darken our illimitable happiness.

A mermaid wanted to hypnotize me but the Virgin protected me.

I had a lot of problems with my family. But the Virgin worked the miracle, and they accepted my homosexuality.

I thank the Virgin because I married a wealthy man and could quit my tiresome job. Now I can dedicate all my time to my cats and my garden and wait for the birth of my first baby without worrying.

I, Dulce Lopez, thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because after all my suffering, when I fell in love with a feminist and was scared to be rejected because of my heterosexual past, the life smiled upon me again.
