I thank Our Lord Jesus Christ for delivering me from those nightmares. I had this dream when the Death came to me and raped me. I was desperate but Our Lord miraculously saved me from this horror.

Our town was always a quiet and peaceful place. But suddenly a true devil nest with tempting she-devils was opened. The she-devils lured our husbands in their damned den and got all their money from them. We discussed this with the priest, and one morning, when the place was closed, sprinkled it with holy water. Then we put crosses on the door, and the priest performed an exorcism. Those doors to hell never opened again, and we got our husbands back. We thank for that.

I am able to bend lamp posts with ease thanks to the strength I get from Saint Therese.

Angelica Robles thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe with this retablo because her tits finally grew in and now she attracts many men in the town.

R. M. got very much aroused sexually while breast-feeding her baby. But she felt guilty about it. So she prayed Saint Martha and overcame her affliction. She thanks for that with this retablo.

I thank Saint Anthony for all the good things happened with me. When I worked in a cabaret I had a lot of problems. They paid me very little, and my pimp took a big part of my earnings. One day I made up my mind and went to Texas, USA. I rented an apartment, and now my clients come to visit me and give me big dollars.

I thank the Virgin Mary because the ugly pimple on my armpit has finally vanished without blemishes.

Ricardo Suarez took three viagras to impress two chicks with whom he was having a threesome. But then it didn’t get down, and Ricardo ended up in the hospital. He thanks Saint Jude with this retablo for he was helped right in time.

One quiet evening, I was fishing and fell asleep. I don’t now if it was true or in my dream, when I saw a beautiful mermaid who wanted to kiss me. But in a moment I couldn’t see her.

Saint Charbel, I dedicate this retablo to you for healing me from a terrible infection that I caught from a prostitute from a cabaret. I took her in a hotel and spent a night with her. I couldn’t find any remedy, and I was scared that I’d stay impotent for ever. I entrusted myself to you, and now I give thanks for your favor.

Maria thank the Virgin because her labor went well.

Mexico, January 21, 1991

Our boat crashed into the rocks because we were listening the mermaid’s singing and watching her brushing her gorgeous hair. We almost drowned, but thanks to the Holy Virgin of Zapopan we managed to get to the shore and to save our boat with the fish. We don’t listen the mermaid’s songs ever since.
