When the school where my wife used to teach for many years was closed she was very upset. She started to give lessons to our pets. It made me worried, so I prayed Saint Francis. He worked the miracle, and my wife received a teacher job offer from another school. She stopped torturing the poor animals which were very annoyed.

My son Arturo was a restless child. And, of course, at the chemistry class, he enjoyed doing experiments that end with explosions. I was afraid he’d be expelled from the school but the teacher told me I have nothing to worry about and that Arturo is the only one who shows a lively interest in chemistry, unlike his classmates. I thank the Virgin of San Juan.

I thank Saint Paschal because I was admitted to the monsieur Pierre Bouvier school. He is the best chef but also the most strict teacher in the town of Santo Tomas. Thanks to the saint I cook very deliciously and occasionally invent new dishes. My teacher is very pleased with me. He thinks I’ll be a good chef.

Genaro and I began to sell flowers on our donkey. Thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe things went well. Now we have four flower shops and we put our kids in good schools and the University so they could become architects and doctors.

The teacher Maria Molina always fell asleep in class because she had insomnia at night. The school principal threatened to fire her if she would continue to sleep because the children made noise and were very naughty while she was sleeping. Maria was afraid and prayed to the Virgin of San Juan. And by the miracle now she sleeps at night like a baby and never sleeps in class.

My Pepito was a very naughty boy. He didn’t like to study at all. His teacher couldn’t stand him and was about to expel him from the elementary school. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because my boy changed a lot. Now he’s studying. Al least he scored 6 points in the exam, so he might pass to another grade, after three attempts.

Carmen Gutierrez was always fighting with one boy in the school. But little by little their fights turned into love, and they’re a couple. She thanks Saint Anthony for this favor.

My daughter Marielita was bad-tempered and whenever she thrown a tantrum she threw whatever she could lay her hand on in other people. I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan for helping me with my daughter. And when Marielita went to school her temper changed step by step.

The school principal threatened to fire her if she would continue to sleep because the children made noise and were very naughty while she was sleeping.

My daughter had a strange disease. She couldn’t stay out in the sun. Because of that she slept by day and stayed awake by night. I prayed to the Virgin, and one day the witch, doña Clara, gave to my daughter an ointment. And now my daughter can go out in the daytime staying in shadow and even can go in school. I give thanks for that.

A bull came to the town. And when my little girls were coming back from the school, it started chase them. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for they managed to hide in the house of doña Luca before the animal could hurt them. I thank with this retablo.

On the Day of the Dead, I went out to see if my son was coming home from school. Since our home was beside the cemetery, I found out that the skeletons left their graves. They were very happily walking down the street. All the people in the town hid in the houses. We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because the next day the skeletons came back to the cemetery and rested in peace.

The children from Saint Nicholas School thank Saint Nicholas because Spiderman was at their party and they had a lot of fun.
