Gregorio Rosas thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe for saving him. I was taming a lion in the circus and he got angry and attacked me. But you, Holy Virgin, protected and saved me.

Mexico City — October 25, 1977

I was going to be a trapeze artist, following our family tradition. But I wasn’t very good. Then one day I found out that I charm the fierce animals with my voice sound. So I began to work with big cats. They act as little kittens when I talk with them with sweetness, and they do everything I say. My act with the fierce animals has had a great success, and my animals love me. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for this gift.

Seferino — It happened in the “Atayde” circus in Mexico

In a difficult situation, I implored Saint Jude Thaddeus, and now I’m alive to tell about the miracle, when he miraculously saved me. The Bengal tiger jumped on me, and I thought I was done. But suddenly the tiger stepped back, and I managed to escape from the cage.

Pedro, an animal tamer, thankful and devoted.
