Joaquin Morales had a dream with naked she-devils who started to bite him off. He suffered very much and prayed to Saint Jude Thaddeus. The saint delivered him from the she-devils, and Joaquin is thankful for that.

I only hope that when you’ll decide to end my life, you will open the gate to the celestial Kingdom for me, even though I sold my soul to Lucifer.

The devil tried to tempt me with an enormous pearl. It was so big and so beautiful, that I almost yielded to the temptation. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe, because she strengthened my belief and I resisted.

I’m thanking Our Lord Jesus Christ for letting me see how the devil took this damned brute who had caused the disaster with his crazy driving, when he had run over me and had broken my legs.

I was coming back from my brother-in-law’s house where I had plastered walls. I had had some drinks. Suddenly the fucking devil appeared to me. I was so scared, even my drunkenness went away. I asked you, Lord of Chalma, to protect me and keep evil away from me. Now I’m thanking you and promise not to say anymore what I used to say: «Go fuck your mother, Devil and all your friends!»

I was in a rage after I had heard that Maria had neglected me and had decided to marry my best friend Artemio. The goddamn Devil climbed up on me and I stabbed Artemio. But when I saw death coming after him and when I realized that all this was only an infamous slender I prayed to God for saving Artemio’s life. In repentance I ask God for forgiveness and I offer this retablo for saving Artemio from death.

My bed became possessed by a devil who arrived every night to sleep in it. And I had to sleep in the living room in a very uncomfortable position because I didn’t know what to do. Until one night my cat saw the devil’s tail and tried to eat it thinking it was a snake. My cat bit it, and the devil jumped out of the bed screaming like hell. After that he never came back. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for giving my bed back because it has such a soft mattress that I bought in Guadalajara.
