Margarita Reyos Campos had an acute appendicitis attack while being in school. Her sister Rosalia prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan for looking after Margarita and protecting her during the surgery. She thanks the Virgin for saving her sister.

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.

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.

Virgin of San Juan, I thank you for healing me because I had problems with my heart. I ask you to take care of my son also, as he chose to follow the family tradition.

I give thanks to the Holy Mother, Virgin of Guadalupe, for healing me from a damn infection that I caught when I went in the hotel with a prostitute.
