When my cat got older he became grumpy. One day I took two kittens from the street and brought them home. My cat of course was totally indifferent to them, but then they started playing and became good friends. My cat even seemed younger. I thank Saint Francis whom I always prayed for my cat’s health.

Pasesita Robledo felt very lonely because her friend went back to her birth-town. So she prayed Saint Francis and then found some cats. She isn’t lonely anymore, and she thanks for that with this retablo.

Tequisquiapan, 1919

My cat became so lazy, our house became filled with mice. They even rob cat food from his bowl and ate it before his eyes. The cat didn’t react at all. I couldn’t stand this mouse freedom anymore and prayed the Virgin of Guadalupe. Then the miracle happened. My cat amended and caught all mice. He took them by surprise because they didn’t expect anything like this from the cat.

One very dark night, my cat refused to go outside to eat. So I took him out, and then—God almighty!—I saw a witch and a skeleton flying over. They wanted to take my cat Sweety. I entrusted myself to Saint Francis of Assisi, and they went away.

The boy Rafael Vasquez loved his kitten very much. But one day the kitten ate the father’s parrot. Rafael thanks Saint Francis for his father didn’t put the kitten to sleep.

My bedroom was filled with rats. They used to come out at night so I was scared to go to the bathroom to not let these animals enter my bed. Since my cats are vey lazy, they didn’t hunt the rats. Thanks to my prayers to the Holy Virgin of San Juan, I got an idea to borrow my neighbor’s cat. He wiped up all rats in one night. My cats were ashamed, so now they patrol the house from time to time. And I do not have rats anymore.

Since she was little, my daughter loved when I read to her. However, when she learnt to read she refused to read to herself. I didn’t know what to do, until the Virgin of Guadalupe sent me a wonderful idea. I offered to my girl to read books for the cats. She agreed. The cats seemed to love this idea also. They were fascinated by my daughter’s voice and gathered around her to listen. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for this miracle.

Teresita Robledo, a little girl, thanks the Virgin of San Juan with this retablo for the firefighters saved her three kittens from the fire.
