I made a very delicious cake for my daughter Marcela’s commitment dinner. But unfortunately my younger children are very gluttonous, so they ate almost entire cake. But luckily, and forgive me God, my daughter’s fiancé got mumps, which he caught from his little sister. The dinner was canceled. And I’m immensely grateful to the Virgin of the Rosary because the parents of the fiancé are very stiff and haughty and I didn’t know how to solve this problem with the cake.

Dionicia Lopez thanks the Lord of Chalma for saving her son from drowning when he fell into the river while playing with his ball. I bring this retablo to you for this favor.

When my daughter Marta started sleepwalking I entrusted her to Saint Lucy, so that she be guarded and protected from incidents. Also I asked to wake me up if she was going to go out. Saint Lucy helped me well, and my daughter even stopped her sleepwalking. I thank for this.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint de Porres because with his intervention my son Vicentico and I were cured from terrible sores filled with pus and blood. And now we can celebrate my son’s birthday.

I was on my way to my grandmother to show her her new great-grandchild when the terrible hail storm began. I entrusted myself and my baby to the Virgin of Guadalupe. Thanks to her the hail didn’t touch us. It was hailing very badly behind us but we were going like in a bubble that protected us. We arrived at the house of my grandmother like this and I give thanks for such a miracle.

Carlitos Perez fell into the well trying to reach his ball, and the dog, who was very brave and smart, jumped after him, took the boy out from the water and kept him afloat until his older brothers came down to save him. The Carlitos family thanks the Virgin of San Juan because the boy is fine, and they also thank for having such a valiant dog.

My son Miguel didn’t pay any attention at the class and always dreamt about superheroes. The teacher was angry with him because he didn’t learn and I began to worry that my little son would stay stupid for ever. Thanks to Our Lady of Zapopan, who heard my prayers, the teacher was changed, and the new one brought to Miguel comic books about superheroes. He started to read them with interest and learned to read quite rapidly. I offer this retablo to the Virgin.

The little girl Aida Lozano give thanks to the Holy Child of Atocha for the miracle that her cat Furrball returned home. He was lost for 15 days and finally came back after many prayers that Aida had said to the saint, because she loves her cat so much and he’s her best friend.

The teacher Ramona Gonzalez was assigned to a grade in a school filled with insects, animals and garbage. In addition to it, her pupils were stupid and didn’t study at all. The teacher thanks the Virgin of Zapopan because she was transferred to another school where the children are smart and there are no animals and insects.
