Raul Chavez couldn’t find a job and dedicated himself to prostitution with women. But one day in husband caught him working on his wife and began shooting at him. He thanks Saint Pancras for he survived and promises to dedicate himself to something else.

May you be blessed, Virgin of San Juan, for healing me from an infection I got from a prostitute. I also asked you so that my wife wouldn’t find out about this. I thank for that.

Because of an infidelity I decided to kill myself and jumped to the bottom of the lake. But thanks to the Virgin of the Rosary my all-life friend Luis Carlos saved me before I would drown. He confessed me that he loved me. And now we are a couple. We thank the Virgin for our happiness.

My mother confirmed my suspicions about my husband when she saw him walking with other women. That’s why he was almost never home and wouldn’t come to sleep sometimes. Then I entrusted myself, with all my heart, to Saint James the Apostle so that he would straighten my husband. And now my hubby is always at home. He even does household chores and cooks. He’s faithful now and I thank for that.

My daughter had very bad luck with her boyfriends. All of them turned out to be scoundrels and traitors. I thank because she finally met a decent guy who loves her and wouldn’t make her suffer, like others did. Now they have got married and will be happy together. I thank Saint Anthony.

Agustin M. enjoyed having affair with married women until one day, when he had to escape through a window, he broke his leg. In addition to that, he was totally naked and got arrested for obscenity. He promises Saint Augustine to mend his ways.

— You, infidel dog! And with my best friend!
— It’s not what it seems to you…

Señorita Noemi Gonzalez thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe because on December 3, 2013, she read the messages in her husband’s phone and found out that he was having an affair with her best friend. Since then she sent him to hell and lives very happily without him. Amen.

Thank you, Saint Jude Thaddeus, for opening my eyes and letting me see that my husband cheated on me with my friend Tencha.

J. B. was caught by his wife while he was given oral sex in the tub. He implored Saint Raymond, and his wife forgave him. He thanks for that and promises to be faithful.

I came back from my aunt earlier than I had thought and I caught my husband in our bed hugging this shameless dressmaker Rosa. I wanted to kill them with the kitchen knife, but the Virgin of San Juan retained my hand. I thank the Virgin because I didn’t commit a murder. But I took the broom and gave the bastards a good trashing though.

Alicia thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe because her husband didn’t find out that she cheated on him with his buddy. She is very sorry and offers this retablo in gratitude for the favor. She swears not to do it again.

Saint Jude Thaddeus, I thank you and I offer you this retablo because my husband fell asleep and didn’t noticed that I was with the butcher’s son. It was a horrible situation, and I’m sorry for that. I ask you to forgive me, and I’ll never do it again. I promised you if it all would end well, I’d offer you a retablo. And now I do.

Your faithful Carolina

Thank you, Saint Jude Thaddeus, for your favors. What a wonderful man Carlitos! He forgave me after I had cheated on him with a friend of his. I swear I’d never cheat on him again. He really cares about me and loves me very much. He spoils me, baths me and cooks for me. What else can I ask for?
