The Dioz Duran sisters were coming back from the mess and decided to cut off the path. They went in the dark alley behind the church. They saw two devils there. The devils were siting on garbage cans and were smoking. When the devils saw the sisters, they started to chase them. The sisters were scared that the devils wanted to dishonor them. So they entrusted themselves to the Virgin of Zapopan. When the sisters ran out to a lighted place, the devils stopped follow them and disappeared.

My son David became a good for nothing hippy. He spent days smoking stinking cigarettes. I suspect it was marijuana. I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan so that she would bring him to reason. Thanks to her he got a scholarship in the capital. Now he’s a good man.

My son Arturo became a hippy. He didn’t study, didn’t work, and smoked weed all day long. I prayed the Virgin but she didn’t hear me. Then I asked Saint Michael the Archangel. He was touched by my sorrow, and some time later my son went to the University. Now he is not as dopey as before.

Gregorio Zamora used to smoke weed and listen music all day long, until one day his parents kicked him out. He thanks the Holy Child of Atocha for he found job pretty quickly and quit his bad habits.
