November 20, 1910, the people of Mexico took up arms at the call of Francisco Madero. Entrusting themselves to the Virgin of Guadalupe, the people fought doughtily for their rights, under the slogans “Viva the revolution!” and “Down with the bad government!”. With the faith in the better life and lands, and liberty, people fought for a free and independent Mexico. Don’t forget that there’s no other country like Mexico. Viva Mexico! Viva the revolution!

Some of my sheep and a cow got lost. I searched for them but couldn’t find. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and then a flock of birds came to me and started twittering. They wanted me to follow them. They led me to some distant pastures where I found my animals grazing.

I lived happy with my cats, but sometimes we had no food because my salary was very small. Also I needed a man. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because I met a milkman Jose, who proposed me. He is a very good man. He sheltered us. He loves me, and my cats don’t starve anymore, because they have fresh milk every day.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for I arrived right before this naughty priest rape my boy when I sent him to confess. I ask God to punish this damned priest.

Virgin of Guadalupe, we dedicate this retablo to your honor for helping us to descend from the Iztlazihuatl, when my brother Paco fell into a crevice of the volcano. He almost died but we entrusted ourselves to you and came back save.

May you be blessed, Virgin of Guadalupe, because my husband didn’t catch me with the butcher in our bed. I offer you this retablo and promise not to do it again.

I thank the Virgin of Gudalupe for finding out about the viagra. I wanted doña Lucha for a long time, but because of my problem I couldn’t do anything. But now I’m feeling myself like a young guy, despite being 63 years old.

One nice day, I took my boat and went fishing in open sea. Suddenly some mermaids appeared. These sexy damned creatures wanted to play with me. Or maybe I fell asleep from hunger and these were just my imagination. However, thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of Guadalupe, there were nobody around and everything was calm.

July 18, I was feeding my father’s piglets when they suddenly attacked me. I thought this was the end for me. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and my uncle arrived and saved me from the pigs.
