Nuns sister Maria Jeronima and sister Petra of Jesus are infinitely thankful to Saint Claire because, with her help, they make the best rompope in Puebla and sell it to help the convent.

I bring this humble retablo to Saint Paschal as a testimony of my eternal gratitude because he gives good taste to my dishes, and thanks to that I won the first place at the regional mole contest. I use the prize for the needs of my congregation.

I went with my daughters to stay at my aunt Roberta’s house for few days. She lived in an old mansion which had used to be a convent. At night I heard my girls screaming. When I entered their room I felt something cold and strange. The girls were scared so I took them to my room. They told me they saw ghosts. I thank the Virgin for the ghost didn’t hurt my girls and disappeared very quickly. Later my aunt told me that she had seen the ghost few times.

Thank you, Our Father, for letting us get back to the convent. During our mission we were attacked by people who didn’t know any religion at all. However we hope you would forgive them.

We were going through difficulties with maintenance of the convent. But I had an idea to prepare and sell mole using my grandmother’s recipe. I thank Saint Paschal Baylon because it has been sold vey well and, thanks to his divine intervention, we can move on financially. May you be blessed.

I though the God called me and I went to a convent as a novice. But it happened so my old boyfriend Luis Reyes came back to the town and found out about my decision. The night before I took the veil he climbed to my window. Then I realized that I was still loving him, and we ran away by the roofs. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary for opening my eyes before I made a huge mistake.

I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus because he let me leave the convent for having fun at the disco.

After a horrible fight, my girlfriend Rosita left me and went into the convent. Since I loved her so much and wanted to be with her, I prayed to the Holy Child of Atocha so that he would help me to turn her back. And thanks to him Rosita didn’t like staying in the convent at all. She was given too many work to do and the food over there was terrible. So she left the convent and forgave me.

Sunday, April 14, 1945, after many prayers to Saint Anthony, Lucita, who had been put by her own father in the Saint Ines convent as a novice, finally resigned. I thank with this retablo for now we have four kids.
