When my husband went to work at the north, I felt very lonely and started to play guitar outside at night. Little by little my music attracted all the cats from our neighborhood. They came to listen me, and they were captivated by my music. My music affected not only the cats. Out of nowhere every time came the little boy and started to play his flute. And when he finished he went away without saying anything. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for this big company I have now.

Six years after I became a widow, I married a prosperous watchmaker. But then I, being very nervous and accustomed to the silence, went crazy because of constant ticking and beating of dozens of clocks. I couldn’t sleep and I was always stressed. I even had a nervous breakdown. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because my husband, who loves me very much, noticed my anxiety and took all those damned clocks from the house to his workshop.

I was a very calm and quiet person but sometimes my wife drove me mad. February 25, 1956, I went so furious I even began strangling her. But then I suddenly heard a noise that distracted me. So I stopped strangling her and saw a strange light in which the image of the Virgin of Zapopan appeared. The Virgin stopped me from killing my wife whom I—when I come to think of it—love very much.

We thank the Virgin of Zapopan because, although the goat is very stubborn and the pig doesn’t like to walk and we had to carry it, we managed to bring them to the animal blessing.

The fishing went badly because there were no fish in the waters. So I decided to take a nap and wait if any fish would come later. Suddenly, in my dream, I saw two beautiful mermaids. They were putting fish in my boat. When I woke up there were no mermaids, but my boat was filled with large fish. And then I heard a wonderful sing far away. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for this miracle.

Because of land disputes, the Gomez brothers set a trap for me. They waited in ambush to kill me. But I entrusted myself to the Virgin of Zapopan, and she made so I noticed them and could escape. The Virgin also gave my horse an extra-speed so the brothers Gomez couldn’t catch me.

I had to pass through the cats in order to get to my new apartment. I always had an irrational fear of the cats and felt very nervous around them. I tried to scare the cats off but they kept staying stayed there. I asked the Virgin for help, and she made so that my fear began to fade away. Now I like the cats. I even give them milk and sometimes stroke them.

Edelmira Garcia went to the river for laundry and fell asleep for a while. She couldn’t see an enormous crocodile sliding towards her. But the Virgin of Zapopan always protected her and he made so a dog came to warn Edelmira with barking. She could escape in time and thanks for that.

The night of March 22, the friend of Filemon Garcia, who had been considered disappeared, brought him to his house. Turned out that Filemon had been so drunk he had been unconscious for three days in the house of a friend who had also been drunk. His wife, doña Cruz, thanks the Virgin of Zapopan because neither something bad happened with her husband, nor he left her for another woman, as she had thought.

On the Night of the Dead, our friends, my husband and I were going to the capital. We stopped to eat in a remote village in Puebla. We noticed there was a bar where the celebration was going on. So we decided to dance a little. But at the midnight all the inhabitants of the village turned into skeletons. We got scared and ran away. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan for the dead men didn’t do anything to us.

My children went to the mountains to gather wood when the thunderstorm began. There were many lightings and it rained very much, but thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan the kids found a cave where they hid themselves and waited until the storm ended. I thank the Virgin because I know there was no cave there, so it was a miracle.

My daughter Carmina turned into a sleepwalker. I got up at night and watched her so nothing bad would happen. Some time later her twin sister Leonor also began sleepwalking. They went in different directions so I didn’t know whom to follow. I was afraid if I’d go after one girl, something would happen with the another one. I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, and they both stopped sleepwalking in the same time. I thank for this miracle.

The old boyfriend returned on the day of the wedding.
