My bus’ brakes broke down, and it went into cowboys and their cows. I thought I was going to crush them all. But thanks to Holy Spirit I only hit one cow, but nothing serious happened even with this cow. I thank because no one got killed through my fault.

Saint Isidore, thank you for bringing us the rains. My cows were dying without water and there was no place to graze them.

The two Gregorio Martinez’ cows got lost. He though he’d never see them again. but thanks to the St. Francis’ miracle the cows came back safe and sound. Gregorio thanks for that with the retablo.

Because of our lack of money, we couldn’t build a stable. And every time when it rained, my wife brought the cow in the house so that it wouldn’t get wet. I hated that, because this damned animal licked my feet and waked me up. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe for money for the stable. The Virgin worked that miracle for me, and now the cow sleeps outside.

I thank Virgin of Zapopan because my children won a calf at church raffle.
