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.

My cats, which grew up together, suddenly stopped being friendly and began fighting ferociously. I prayed the Virgin because I couldn’t stand seeing them fighting constantly. Thanks to the Virgin the cats calmed down, and now they’re friends again.

I didn’t have children nor a husband (?) but I never felt lonely because my family <…> my beautiful garden and my cats to whom I dedicate all my love <…>

Some school bullies chased my son Mario to beat him because he was very small. But a stray dog which he always had been feeding with his sandwiches protected him. It came grunting and barking at the boys. My son brought the dog home. We washed and brushed it. It turned out to be very pretty so we adopted the dog. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because now Mario has someone to protect him.

The girl Rocenda talks with the forest animals. Cure her, Virgin.

Arturo Vasquez was lying ill in his bed when suddenly everything in the room got up in the air and started floating around. The cats got wings and began flying. His bed was floating too. Arturo felt giddiness and asked the Virgin to put everything down.

The Virgin had mercy upon him and made so he woke up in his bed. Although the cats were still flying, Arturo wasn’t. He thanks the Virgin for that.

My horse always was docile <…> I saw a devil whispering it some bad things. <…> Thanks to Saint Francis the demon left my horse in peace.

I send a thousand blessings to St. Rita high up in heaven for granting me a husband, a detached house with garden, cat-flop and close to amenities and tube. And two kittens.

Thank you Lord that I didn’t have to pay a reward as Moth came back after two months. He’s got dysentery and one ear missing but he’s now home and I won’t kick him anymore when he pees in my Christian Dior coat.

Mauricio Gallegos had some shots of tequila in the town. On his way back home he rode his horse and, since it was very dark, hit a wasp nest. The insects were furious. They got out and start stinging him. He thanks Saint Quiteria for she gave extra speed to his horse so it ran like the wind to the river. They submerged in it and saved themselves from the wasp stings. They got only few stings.

The erotic model Paty D. was at a photo session in Africa when they were attacked by a lioness. She brings this retablo thanking Saint Francis because they were saved in time by some hunters.

Up until that day I had not been a believer, but the signs were too clear to be ignored and the poodle was cute.
