Lord of Chalma, I promised you this retablo if you’d help us to arrive to your altar. And we’ve done it. We’ve arrived without troubles, and I hope, with your help, we’ll see each other the next year.

Thank you, Our Father, for letting us get back to the convent. During our mission we were attacked by people who didn’t know any religion at all. However we hope you would forgive them.

I give infinite thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for letting me arrive to her sanctuary in La Villa. My legs were paining so much, and I was afraid I couldn’t walk. The Virgin sent me the miracle of healing for what I dedicate, with all my faith, this humble retablo.
