I bring this retablo to Saint Christopher as my infinite gratitude for hearing my prayers. I asked so that my son Simon would return home. He went as worker in United States and I was afraid I’d never see him again. He won’t go there ever again.

Virgin of Guadalupe, thank you for hearing my prayers. I didn’t let my sister to meet with Juan because he was known as a womanizer and drunkard. But he wouldn’t listen and decided to run away with him. They sat on a horse. I ran for her and grabbed her arm. The horse jolted and dragged me. A year later my sister came home in despair and with a baby in her arms. Turned out Juan kicked her out.

I want to thank Saint Jude for we have come back to Mexico. I married an American woman and we moved to US for five years. There I really missed tacos, mole, tamales and all others pleasures of my beloved Mexico. My wife Katherine also loves Mexican food.

Martina Ojeda thanks Saint Joseph for the miracle that her husband Eulalio came back home to celebrate the Christmas with her and their children. He worked whole year and they didn’t see him all that time and missed him so much.

I thank God and Saint Francis of Assisi for the miracle of meeting the love of my life. I was 40 years old and thought that I was never going to marry. But then my old boyfriend came back from the United States and proposed to me. I thank God because we are very happy and have become the parents of a beautiful baby.

The old boyfriend returned on the day of the wedding.

Thank you Lord that I didn’t have to pay a reward as Moth came back after two months. He’s got dysentery and one ear missing but he’s now home and I won’t kick him anymore when he pees in my Christian Dior coat.

I though the God called me and I went to a convent as a novice. But it happened so my old boyfriend Luis Reyes came back to the town and found out about my decision. The night before I took the veil he climbed to my window. Then I realized that I was still loving him, and we ran away by the roofs. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary for opening my eyes before I made a huge mistake.

I thank Saint Barbara for giving me the courage to leave my husband. He treated me and our kids badly, so I came back to my home town where I will live happily with my family and my old friends.
