I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for the miracle of saving our ship “Ma. Catalina” when we were close to shipwreck during the storm. In despair, we prayed to you to stop the storm.

In gratitude. from the crew of “Ma. Catalina”
September 1938

We thank the Holy Face of God because we returned home after five days in the sea. We suffered shipwreck because of a terrible storm that caught us in the open sea. We entrusted ourselves to the Holy Face, and now we tell about the miracle that happened when we were counted as dead.
