I thank the Virgin of Talpa because she made me a miracle and I got a boy after four girls.

Jalisco, Mexico, 1968

Young Anselmo Aguilar was tired of his teacher constantly flunking him in physics for no reason. One day he got so angry, he threw the teacher down the stairs of the school. He gives thanks to Saint Francis of Paula for he was only kicked out of school and did not go to jail. He also did community service and paid medical expenses.

Thanks to the Virgin for me being a whore and giving food and education to my children.

My daughter liked to swing on a huge tree near the river. One day I saw an ocelot right on the branch which the swing was hung on. I ran, but I was far from there. I was praying to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and thanks to her the animal didn’t attack my girl but jumped to another tree where there were many squirrels, and then it went away.

We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because one time during a picnic, some people kidnapped a young girl with a little girl. But then they left a little girl on a stone because she had nothing to do with a young girl. Thanks.

Give me strength, Virgin of Guadalupe, to continue with the wrestling so I can support my daughter.

I give thanks to the Supreme Patron of the electromagnetism, Saint Michael Faraday, because I, Samuel, after my second Sinovac shot, have remained with the power of magnet. Without this feature, I couldn’t bring joy to the kids who come to me with their forks and put them on my body. And the audios from WhatsApp come directly to my head.

The girl Luisa walked around with her drum, and the vipers dance and whirl. Look after her, Virgin.

Pascasia Meneses brings this retablo giving infinite thanks for granting healing to her boy who had worms and got very skinny, and no remedy would help him.

Puebla, 1918

The girls Lucy and Rosita play with a giant tortoise. Look after them, Virgin.

I was riding my tricycle, when a baby crossed the road and I hit him. But thanks to the divine intervention of the Holy Virgin of Guadalupe he got off with a scratch.

My daughter Susana loved when I was reading stories to her. She loved fairy tales so much, she learned to read sooner than her sisters to be able to read them by herself. When I got sick, she read tales to me, and it was wonderful. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for such a clever and caring daughter.

In the year of 1982, in the City of San Antonio, Jamie Eddy and his friend George Karutz, were home alone with Jamie’s younger brother, Prescott. The boys read that “Super Glue creates an incredibly strong adhesive bond that is nearly unbreakable”. Loctite cyanoacrylate broke the Guinness World Record by lifting a car weighing more than 5 tons with just 9 drops of adhesive. Jamie and George, eager to test the adhesive strength, glued young Prescott to the toilet, where he was discovered by Mr and Mrs Eddy upon returning home later that afternoon. In an effort to quell Prescott’s tears, Mrs Eddy served him ice cream while Mr Eddy raced to the hardware store to procure the necessary solvents to unseat him. Jamie, fearing the worst, petitioned San Felipe Neri, the patron saint of ludicrous pranks and Saint Bartholomew, the patron saint of dermatology, for assistance. He knew his prayer had been heard when the bond was broken and Prescott was emancipated. James Eddy painted this retablo to commemorate the miracle which occurred 39 years ago. Executed this ninth day of February 2021 in the City of San Francisco.
