My daughter Laura loves to care about animals. Since she was little she fed all the stray cats and dogs that she found. She would’ve adopted them all, if I had permitted her. I think that being a veterinary is her vocation. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary because my husband has a good job and we can pay for her studies in the University to become a certificated veterinary.

My son Raulito loved when I read tales to him. He loved them so much he even began to read himself, and more quickly than other my children. When I was ill he read me, and it was wonderful. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for such an intelligent and loving son.

On a picnic, Laura followed some butterflies and went far away from her family. When she was picking dandelions she noticed that she got lost.

They were also pretty scared. They thank for that miracle.

The music is a very important part of our family’s life and is with us every day. We love playing instruments near our birds because they begin to sing. It produces a very beautiful sound. I thank Saint Francis because my kids have inherited my musical talent.

My son Luis didn’t like to take a bath. He alway ran away and climbed at the trees. I prayed desperately to the Virgin of Zapopan so my son would let me wash him without making so much troubles. And the marvelous miracle happened—Luis began to love taking a bath. Now he doesn’t want to get out of the water. I thank the Virgin.

Benjamin Camacho was riding on his bike with his baby when he was hit by a bus. The baby flew out his hands. He thanks the Holy Heart because miraculously the baby didn’t get hurt by falling on the ground. Benjamin didn’t get serious injuries either and got off with some bruises.
