I bring this retablo as testimony of gratitude to Saint Anthony of Padua who made so that Lolita became my fiancée. I was afraid she’d reject me since I wasn’t of equal position with her. But I loved her so much. Now we’re happy together, and her family has accepted our relationship.

I was about to divorce my husband because our marriage had become boring and tedious. But then I found these “sexy dance” videos on the internet and began to study them to dance for my husband. I give thanks to Saint Anthony of Padua because it saved our relationship. It has revived the flame of our love and we are very happy now.

Ofelia B. fell in love. They were afraid they relationships would be discovered. They thank Saint Anthony with this retablo because the children of them both understood it and support them.

Pedro and Juan thank the Virgin for being very happy.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for the miracle of delivering my son from that woman of easy virtue. He fell in love and was going mad. Seeing him in such state, I prayed you for him, and you worked the miracle.

Sofia met Reyna and, admiring her beauty, couldn’t do anything but think about her. She opened her feelings to Reyna, and Reyna said that she felt the same about Sofia. It was a surprise, so Sofia promised this retablo to Saint Sebastian for giving them an opportunity of meeting each other and living very happily together with no fear of being watched.
