I love the church with all my heart. The father at the church was my great uncle and he told me one day look, look jesus is looking at you hita. I started crying and thy lord took away my chic pain away and my depression that I had. Praise jesus our father well never turn his back on his children in the world never give up.

We had left Chimayo with a small bag of blessed dirt. I placed it on the inside of the driver door. On the way on I -25 some sharp object was hurled at the drivers door by a mad man dressed in orange laughing insanely that goodness is did not hit me, it would have caused a not so good accident. Evil could not penetrate and harm me and my friend. 7/2015

I see the priest is using his cane, he should try using some of the dirt.

Some good people want and accept their pain and sufferings and they offer it to God for the conversion of sinners and unbelievers.

Paul the Apostle had a thorn in the flesh that he prayed to God to remove. The Lord refused his request. He was given the thorn to keep him humble. I know this all seems insane. I'm from NM and honestly, I don't believe a good part of the story behind Chimayo. What I do know is there is something there that is profound and beautiful. Very much like New Mexico, an adobe church, a humble place where miracles have happened. I have no doubt about that part of the story.
