Virgin of San Juan

My son Miguel got ill with a fever. I was worried because he didn’t get better. I started praying to the Virgin of San Juan. The night, she sent her angels to blow over my son’s bed so that the fever would go away. I saw them in my dream, and then my son woke up fresh and healthy.

It was late when we were coming back home from the Ambrosio’s wedding. Then the devil appeared to us. He blocked our way and certainly wanted to pierce us. But since my brother and I wore medallions of the Virgin of San Juan the devil didn’t dare to come closer thanks to this protection. We thank because we were saved at that danger moment.

Some school bullies chased my son Mario to beat him because he was very small. But a stray dog which he always had been feeding with his sandwiches protected him. It came grunting and barking at the boys. My son brought the dog home. We washed and brushed it. It turned out to be very pretty so we adopted the dog. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because now Mario has someone to protect him.

May you be blessed, Virgin of San Juan, for healing me from an infection I got from a prostitute. I also asked you so that my wife wouldn’t find out about this. I thank for that.

On the All Saints’ Eve I went for water and saw the Death in the well. Frightened, I closed my eyes and prayed to the Virgin of San Juan. When I opened my eyes, the Death wasn’t there. It didn’t appear to me anymore, and I thank the Virgin for that.

I went to a blind-date to dance with a women who appeared to be very nice on the phone and had a very sensual voice. But to my surprise she turned out to be a she-devil. And he was accompanied by another couple of devils. I was very scared, so I had only one dance with her and then slipped away pretending I was going to the bathroom. I thank the Virgin of San Juan for I could escape from the demons without any damage.

I offer the retablo for this miracle.

I almost made the biggest mistake of my life when I was going to marry Maria Luisa. But there was Luis standing outside the church. When I looked in his eyes I couldn’t resist and we ran away leaving my bride and her parents. They had a nervous breakdown. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because I didn’t ruin three lives. Now I’m happy with my boyfriend, and Maria Luisa already has a new suitor.

I began to see a strange dream in which my cat would go up to the Moon and I would have to climb after him by an infinite ladder. The worst part was that I woke up totally worn out in with a plan in my legs as if I really climbed the ladder all night long. I thank the Virgin of San Juan who gave me an idea to take my cat to sleep with me in my bed. It’s a much more comfortable place than the Moon. Now I wake up well-rested and don’t see this strange dream anymore.

My daughter Rosa and I went to a mass, and the soul of my girl’s godmother appeared to us. The ghost asked us to pray for her. We were scared and ran to the church, where I ordered two requiem masses to the priest. We also prayed a novena. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because my friend’s soul has rested in peace.
