MOTHER
MARIANNA DE JESUS TORRES (1563- 1635)
was a Spanish Conceptionist nun in
Quito, Ecuador.
Mother Mariana received from Our Blessed Mother prophecies
especially in relation to the Church in our time
|
Our
Lady appeared to Mother Mariana with this invocation and
requested to make a life-sized statue of her under the
title "Our Lady of Good Success.” In her right hand
holding a crosier as abbess of the convent and Queen of
Heaven and Earth. In her left arm, She carries her Divine
Son so that "all will know that I am merciful and
understanding. Let them come to me for I will lead them to
Him." The statue was begun by a local sculptor, but was
miraculously completed in 1611 by the Archangels Gabriel,
Michael and Raphael.
Mother Mariana had begged the Most Holy Virgin that her
name be unknown. The Mother of God assured her faithful
daughter that only after three centuries of mysterious
silence, the truth of the apparitions would become known -
in the 20th century. As Queen and Mother of a then-
suffering world and Church, Our Lady promised that She
would give Her Good Success to those who had recourse to
Her under this invocation of “Our Lady of Good Success”.
The most important
PROPHECIES
OF OUR LADY OF GOOD SUCCESS,
however, spoke of the worldwide crisis in the Church and
society that would begin in the 19th century and extend
throughout the 20th century. During that time, she warned,
there would be an almost total corruption of customs and
Satan would rule almost completely by means of the Masonic
sects. In the Catholic Church the Sacraments would be
profaned and abused, and the light of Faith would be
almost completely extinguished in souls. Truly religious
souls would be reduced to a small number and many
vocations would perish. Great impurity would reign and
people would be without any care for spiritual matters.
The prophecies here in 1611 harmonize perfectly with the
better-known prophecies that Our Lady made at Fatima in
1917
Our Lady told Mother Mariana that the souls who would
remain faithful in those difficult times would need great
strength of will, constancy, valor and confidence in God.
Moments would come when everything would seem to be lost
and paralyzed, but that would be the moment, she promised,
of the “happy beginning of the complete restoration.” “My
hour will arrive” she foretold, “when I, in an amazing
manner, will overthrow proud Satan, crushing him under my
feet, chaining him in the infernal abyss, leaving the
Church and the land free of this cruel tyranny.” Even
though the message of Our Lady of Good Success is very
grave, it is also one of great hope.
