A much more complete story and the current investigation can be found at the below links which can not be excerpted due to being a USA/Gannett publication:

'It's a miracle': Virgin Mary statue wept at Mass, Hobbs parishioners said

Bishop Cantú explains investigation into 'weeping' Virgin Mary statue

I will say that the first-hand accounts in the first story, including by the parish priest, are compelling with the tears not being a water-like substance, but more more oily and smells like roses.

There have been two reported occurrences in May with the most recent ported on May 22. Bishop Oscar Cantú of Las Cruces is quoted as being somewhat apprehensive if the investigation confirms the reports. He says that “If it is supernatural, then is it God? Or is it of an evil spirit? We do believe in the fallen angels, ...”

Hobbs has two Catholic churches, but the pastor of the other, St. Helena Catholic Church, was arrested last October for adult sexual abuse. During the time a male visitor was staying at the rectory, the priest was reported to have entered the shower without clothing and began washing the man's body, including his genital area.

Given that this is Hobbes, I am betting on:

1. drugs hidden inside;

2. pollution; or

3. polluted drugs.

I have an acquaintance (not a friend) who fixes my bike. He’s a rocker-wearing Bandido. He considers Hobbes too dangerous.

To me, it’s a toss up between Odessa and Hobbes being the biggest dumps of the entire South West.

I suppose anything is possible. A few years ago the image of Jesus appeared on someone's breakfast toast. It has even been recorded to appear on a tortilla. I'm serious; this really happened.

Anyone have any commentary?
