My wife was a compulsive buyer. We used to go to the mall, visiting all the shops there and buying clothes and shoes with my credit card. I was scared that I couldn’t control her. I prayed to Saint James the Apostle, and he worked a miracle. Now my Leticia is more conscious and thrifty. Her previous way of spending would’ve bankrupted me.

The other night I was surfing the web and buying on Amazon. Suddenly my internet went out. I thank Chavez for saving me from the temptation of capitalism. I promise to pray to him and to hide my credit cards.

Anita Sandoval thanks Saint Rita of Cascia with this retablo because little by little she overcame an addiction to buying shoes, for now she has hundreds pairs of them.

February 2008, Teodocia Cruz couldn’t find dotted heeled shoes. She was desperate, so she entrusted herself to the Holy Virgin of San Juan. And she found the shoes at last season’s sales.
