I thank Saint Anthony. I was decorating the room for the spring holidays and lost my balance. I felt down from the ladder right to the doña Rosita’s son’s arms. He is very handsome, and we are dating.

We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe, because despite our poverty we always have food on our table and there is a lot of love in our life.

My friend and I, both, were courting Mariana Alcantara, but she couldn’t decide whom to choose. One day she was playing on swings and accidentally hit me in the head with her leg. I was bleeding. Mariana saw my wound and was very worried about it, so she finally agreed to be my girlfriend. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for this miracle.

When I broke my leg, Jose Luis Medina visited me every day. He brought me flowers and chocolates and helped me to start walking again. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for such a caring suitor. I’m even thinking to accept his marriage proposal.

Aurora Medina suffered a lot from an unhappy love. She decided to kill herself. When she was about to jump from a cliff, she suddenly felt grabbed and pulled by some hands. Aurora saw that it was the Virgin of Guadalupe who stopped her. After that miraculous salvation, the girl realized that she had no need to commit suicide over some bastard. She thanks the Virgin.

I thank Saint Sebastian because I arrived in time before my naughty boyfriend went to steam with some filthy swine. I whipped him with belt, and now he loves me more than ever and he’s very faithful.

Ofelia Medina was cheated on, so she put her wedding dress on, since she won’t have to wear it, and threw herself into the lake. But a fisherman noticed her and saved her. Ofelia thanks the Virgin of Zapopan because she met a new love in her savior.

We met on the ring and instantly felt an attraction to each other. It was difficult to admit it, but now we’re happy. We thank the Virgin, who brought us together.

I thank Holy Child with the Ball because my wedding was unforgettable. Not only I married my beloved one, but also during the banquet thousands of butterflies flew over to celebrate with us. They were flying around us fluttering their satin wings. Thanks to that miracle nobody will forget the happiest day of my life.

An octopus fell in love with me. Holy Virgin, please make him understand that it’s impossible for us to be together. Thanks.

A. B. had problems with flatulence and she was terrified to have a boyfriend because of that. She is infinitely grateful to Saint Anthony with this retablo because he sent her a boyfriend who didn’t care about stinking. Moreover, he even likes when she farts right in his face.

We thank this Holy Heart for the opportunity of meeting each other. We live as a couple and do not hide it from the society. Today we are celebrating one year of our happy relationship.

I give due thanks to Saint Anthony of Padua because Romualdo Reyes, the most handsome guy in the town, payed attention to me and asked my father for my hand in marriage. Despite my neighbors’ jealousy, our love will be growing more and more.
