Virgin of San Juan

Virgin of San Juan, thank you for giving me the good luck of meeting Victor when I was in deep depression after breaking up with my husband. Now, after some time of knowing each other, he asked me to be his partner, and I accepted. I ask you to bless our relationship so our love would only grow bigger.

Virgin of San Juan, I thank you because I was able to satisfy my neighbor thanks to the fact that there is viagra. She is too damn hot, and I was craving for her for a long time. I also ask you, Virgin, that my wife would never find out about my affair, and I promise never cheat on her again.

I wasn’t a good swimmer, and a sea current dragged me to open sea. I felt lost among this immensity of water. I tried to swim, then tried to scream but nobody heard me. I was doubting that I could survive when suddenly out of nowhere a beautiful dog appeared there, in the middle of the sea. He dragged me to the shore. I could explain this only as a miracle of the Virgin of San Juan who always look after me. I give thanks for this angel who saved me.

In times of the Revolution, there was a very tough battle in my village, and I became an orphan. One day I met the general Emiliano Zapata himself and humbly asked him for help. I thank the Virgin of San Juan for having sent him to me, because he took me with him and gave me many advices that made me into a hardworking, loyal and brave man.
