Holy Virgin Mary, thanks for this good cow that our uncle Fernando gave us. Thanks to the money from selling her milk we were able to cure my sister Carla. Thank you very much, Holy Virgin Mary.

Mariana

Holy Virgin Mary, make sure that this long trip would go well and Alonso would return safely. Many thanks, Holy Virgin Mary.

Alexia

Holy Virgin Mary, a neighbor wanted to revenge for the noise and set a building where I lived on fire. Thank you very much, Holy Virgin, for saving my piano from this terrible fire.

Catalina

Holy Virgin Mary, I was afraid of flying saucers and extraterrestrials. I was praying to you every night during a month, and you delivered my head from this anxiety. Thanks for being with me. Thanks for you love for me.

Malena

Teresa Cobian being pregnant on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic invoked the Blessed Mary asking her to grant a happy delivery and she granted the request.

Fortunately, I was’t in my boat when these mermaids tried to abduct me. I thank Saint Mary.

Yucatan, 1951

I thank the Virgin Mary because I can finally take bubble baths with my raccoon.

I was a very jealous man. My jealousy went to extremes when I saw my beautiful wife reading a letter. I thought it was from a lover. The demon of jealousy clouded my mind and made me take the gun and point it to my wife. But then I felt two small hands pulling the gun aside. Later I found out that the letter was from my wife’s grandmother. I realized it was the Virgin who sent a little angel to save me from this horrible crime. My wife forgave me for being such an idiot.

I dedicate this retablo to the Virgin Mary because we found an accommodating and private dungeon where we can enjoy and practice bondage comfortably.

I thank the Virgin Mary for my ultra compact Bell and Howell Two Twenty eight mm. camera.

I thank the Virgin because after spending two days in the desert without food or water I was rescued by a gentleman who gave me a full glass of delicious orange soda and a bag of corn chips.

Up until that magic night, driving down state road 45 in Albuquerque, I had been a self absorbed materialistic and vain son of a gun… Then I saw the majestic figure of the Virgin Mary and my life made a 180 degree turn for the better.

I sell donuts at the Herceg Novi beach. Everybody have loved my donuts for many years. I thank the Virgin Mary because, the last year, Petar came to the beach and he loved not just my donuts but myself. Now we are happy together.
