Praying the rosary or meditating on how the Virgin Mary lived and how others got through difficult situations motivates me to keep going and never give up. She is a miracle, and represents one of the biggest devotions in Venezuela since 1652, when she appeared to the Cacique of the Cospes tribe in Guanare, Venezuela, urging him to be baptized. Initially resisting, the Cacique later attempted to seize her, but she vanished, leaving a tiny, miraculous parchment image in his hand. She was declared the Patroness of Venezuela in 1942.

The Apostle of the Impossible. Probably life is hard sometimes. Saint Jude, one os the 12 apostles of Jesuscrist. His mission has led to powerful intercession, even for the most hopeless of causes. His New Testament letter stresses that the faithful should persevere in the environment of harsh, difficult circumstances—just as their forefathers had done before them; therefore, he is the patron saint of desperate cases.

The image prototype about saints is a human representation, but it’s never a perfectionist Renaissance approach. In my opinion, when seeing the world, those helpers, protectors, angels, or saints can have different representations or expressions depending on the culture.
Saint Charbel Makhlouf (1828–1898) was a Lebanese Maronite Catholic monk and priest. A hermit recognized for extreme sanctity and austerity, he is highly revered for thousands of documented miracles attributed to his intercession worldwide. He inspire everyday to believed praying the light can arrive to the eyes and mind, and forgiveness, healing and relax our bodies. He likes the request miracles write by hand into the color ribbon, and then hangout to his arms. After you got it the miracle, the new white ribbon in sign of thank you.
