The Hernandez sisters’ mother was very sick. They were very worried and prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe for a miracle. And the miracle happened when Adela suddenly started to scatter luminous powder and small stars from her hands. It all floated by the room and shined like tiny sparks only much more beautiful. They wrapped around the sick mother and her sleep became calmer. Next morning she woke up healed. Her daughters give thanks for this miracle.

Virgin of San Juan, thank you for giving us enough strength to cross the desert and arrive in the USA where my son Jesus had a surgery to remove a tumor in his head. We thank you because you protected us under your cloak and now we are all right.

My boy Panchito ate a lot of sweets and felt severe pain in the stomach. Nothing helped him so I entrusted him to the Holy Child Doctor. With his divine help and with help of the doctor Panchito is feeling well now. I offer this retablo for that.

My daughter Sofia had a high fever, and I prayed to the Virgin for her recovery. I felt so tired so I fell asleep. Suddenly I was awakened by a soft flap of wings. I saw many little shining angels around my daughter’s bed. I thought it was a dream but next morning my baby had no fever and even asked for a breakfast. Then I was sure that it was a miracle of the Virgin who sent her angels to heal the girl. I give thanks to the Virgin.

I thank the Virgin of Chapi because, although I didn’t find a cure for my rare disease that made my skin elastic, I found a job on a carnival. I have a very nice routine and I am known as “The man with the rubber skin”.

Mr. Antonio thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe because his heart got better and he can continue to work as a clown to entertain the kids.

My son Paco had a fever. He had hallucinations with skeletons that were flying around him. They laughed and wanted to take him with them. I was scared and I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, so she would bring down his temperature.Finally she heard my prayers. Paquito had no more fever and even started to eat. I give thanks to the Holy Virgin.

When I was ill, the death appeared. She approached my bed, and I got very upset, because I didn’t want her to take me, since I was still young. I grabbed the crucifix and started praying to the Lord of the Wonders for protection. The death receded before the crucifix. So I was saved. Thanks for that.
