Virgin of Zapopan

Ataulfo Padilla wanted to kill me because Azucena had preferred me and not him. He was jealous. One day he encountered me and my brother on our way and started to shoot us. We entrusted ourselves to the Virgin of Zapopan, and the bullets didn’t get us. He ran out of the bullets, and we could escape without getting wounded. We give thanks to the Virgin.

The devil made my horse stumble, and I fell and hit my head on the rocks on the road. After that I continue to see the devil for many days. The devil mocked me, and I saw him even with closed eyes. So I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, and she made this vision disappear. Now I see normal and see no devil.

An angry dog attacked my brother Eulalio’s puppy. The puppy was badly injured. We thanks the Virgin of Zapopan because it didn’t die and is getting better.

I was changing a light bulb and lost my balance. I dropped the fused bulb and it fell right where my little baby was. I thought the bulb would explode and shuttered glass would cut the little body of hers. I was frightened. But the Virgin worked the miracle, and the bulb didn’t break after hitting the floor. I give thanks for that.

After the hurricane my sons and I found a lot of wounded animals around our house. We cured them, gave them food and some of them stayed with us. I think they told to other animals about us because many others animals began to come to our house for healing or for some water from the well. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the animals thank us working for us or giving milk and eggs or simply showing their love and keeping us company.

My daughter Marielita was bad-tempered and whenever she thrown a tantrum she threw whatever she could lay her hand on in other people. I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan for helping me with my daughter. And when Marielita went to school her temper changed step by step.

Camilo Gonzales worked as a bus driver, and he got a route in Altas de Jalisco. One morning he was driving being drunk and exhausted. He feel asleep behind the wheel, and the bus fell over a cliff, in a lake. The driver thanks the Virgin of Zapopan because no one of his passengers drowned and because he wasn’t thrown in jail for this accident.

Amalia and Roberto were kissing under a tree and suddenly heard a crying. They saw the Weeping Woman who was coming in their direction in search of her children. They knew that the ghost sometimes took people thinking they were her children. Amalia and Roberto were scared that she would grab them with her long nail and would take them to the world beyond. But thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan, whom they entrusted to, the ghost didn’t noticed them and passed through. They only heard how her crying fade away in the woods.

My late wife was very jealous. When I got married again, several years after her death, suddenly her ghost started to appear by nights. Her face was angry and she wanted to strangle me. I was scared and prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan so that she would rest her soul. Thanks to the Virgin the ghost never appeared again and rested in peace, I hope.

I was cleaning my kitchen when I slipped on soap water and fell on the kitten basket. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for the miracle that I didn’t smash them, although I’m pretty fat.
