Beatriz Robledo got a scholarship to study in France. She thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe for this and promise to be at her best.

I thank because we met again at the town bandstand.

The shadow of my late husband comes at night to look after me. I thank the Virgin for giving me consolation because then I don’t feel lonely.

Artemio and Araceli Ramirez prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe because it didn’t rain for a long time and their harvest was drying. The Holy Virgin send them rains and saved the harvest.

We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for letting us cross the river and arrive to the USA for work. From the bottom of the heart we offer you this retablo.

I like to practice when the circus is empty because I could listen little angels fluttering. They guard me and always fly around. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for sending them to me.

We heard in the news about frost and snowing coming next night. Our mayor even ordered to organize the shelters for homeless. But nobody thought about animals. So my daughter and I went to take every cat and dog from the street. We shelter them in our house, and we feed them. We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for they didn’t fight with each other and stayed quietly through the frost.

When a giant octopus attacked me I was miraculously saved by seagulls. Thank you, Virgin.

Nicolas Hernandez offered this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe because she saved him from being eaten by the sharks when he was surfing at the beach while on honeymoon with his wife. When I noticed the danger, I entrusted myself to you and now I’m alive to tell about it.
