The doña Paca’s tavern was very popular until one day a new joint opened up near by. They had a jukebox and offered free soft drinks and bread to the meal. Nobody came to doña Paca anymore. She was desperate, so she entrusted herself to Saint Francis. And a miracle happened right before her eyes. Giant cockroaches came from a garbage can and went in a line to the new tavern. So now the people prefer the doña Paca’s tavern again. She thanks her saint promoter.

Maria Luisa Gomes was annoyed by her suitors. All of them were boring, predictable and kind of ugly. But one day she met Pedro Lopez. He won her heart when he gave her a carnivorous plant. Maria thanks Saint Anthony for meeting such an extraordinary and intelligent man, and, moreover, with pretty eyes. With this plant there are no more flies and mosquitoes in her house.

Mauricio Gallegos had some shots of tequila in the town. On his way back home he rode his horse and, since it was very dark, hit a wasp nest. The insects were furious. They got out and start stinging him. He thanks Saint Quiteria for she gave extra speed to his horse so it ran like the wind to the river. They submerged in it and saved themselves from the wasp stings. They got only few stings.

I had a slight fever, and the night I had hallucinations with the ghosts of enormous mosquitos. They were looking at me reproachfully, because I had sprayed them with insecticide. They wanted to bite me. I prayed Saint Quiteria for help, and the next day I had no fever. However, I ordered mosquito nets to put on the windows because I didn’t want to have any more visits from the mosquitos ghosts.

My wife began to eat in the bed. I hated it because there were a lot of crumbs in the bed. Also she chewed it with so much noise that I couldn’t sleep or watch TV. But the worst thing was that I was on a diet. But thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of San Juan an ant army came to our bed attracted by the food. They bit my wife so she stopped eating in bed.

I had a cockroach invasion in my kitchen. They climbed on the table when my friend Laura, who is fanatical about cleanliness, visited me. I almost died of embarrassment. I didn’t know what to do and I prayed to the Virgin of San Juan, so that she would help me in such a difficulty moment. Thanks to her divine intervention all cockroaches disappeared that night. I thank the Virgin because Laura didn’t part company with me after that incident. I love her very much and we have fun together.

Pascual Ramirez fell asleep in the shadow of a tree. He woke up because he was attacked by hundreds of ants. He thanks Saint Elias for he didn’t die from the allergic reaction.

My kitchen was filled with cockroaches. My cat was very lazy to catch them. I didn’t know how to get rid of them. Saint Paschal gave me an idea to bring all my farm animals to the kitchen—the pigs, the ducks, the chicken. They ate all the cockroaches saving my kitchen, although they dirtied it up a little.

Agustin Robledo went to see the doctor because of a horrible ear pain. To his surprise the doctor found a cockroach living in his ear. Agustin thanks the Holy Child of Atocha for his recovery.

On a picnic, Laura followed some butterflies and went far away from her family. When she was picking dandelions she noticed that she got lost. Laura got scared and asked the Holy Spirit to help her to find her family. That moment, a light breeze came up and the dandelion seeds flew to the place where the Laura’s family was. They were also pretty scared. They thank for that miracle.

My husband studies the insects the arachnids. He brought work at home, and it was bothering me because some creatures escaped sometimes. But the worst thing was when my son opened a box with fleas. They dispersed about the house. We thank the Virgin of the Rosary for we managed to get rid of them all. I thank the Virgin because my husband doesn’t bring the bugs from the laboratory anymore.

My house was filed with legions of cockroaches. They were everywhere, in every corner. Each repellent I used didn’t help. Then I prayed to Saint Francis of Assisi so he would deal with his animals. The Saint might have called them because the next day the cockroaches disappeared.

My baby was very sick. He had a high fever, and I prayed to the Virgin almost all night long until I fell asleep. With the first dawn in the morning I heard a soft flapping, and I saw a lot of butterflies flying around. I noticed that my baby had no fever and was smiling. I give thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan for healing my baby and for this beautiful sight.
