Prophesies of this age - Our Lady of Good Success

 

Between 1594 and 1634, a Conceptionist sister named Mariana de Jesús Torres, received Marian apparitions from Our Lady of Good Success in Quito, Ecuador. The messages of the apparition were a prophecy that said a spiritual catastrophe would engulf the Church shortly after the middle of the twentieth century. It would include:

• Widespread moral corruption

• The Sacrament of Matrimony will be attacked and deeply profaned

• Depraved priests who will scandalize the faithful and cause suffering for good priests

• Unbridled lust which will ensnare many souls ("Impurity like "a filthy ocean" will run with an "astonishing liberty.”)

• Loss of innocence among children and loss of modesty among women

• Lack of priestly and religious vocations (this crisis in the priesthood will be assisted by the growth of Masonic sects and the effects of secular education)

In her message, our Lady said:

“The Catholic spirit will rapidly decay; the precious light of Faith will gradually be extinguished until there will be an almost total and general corruption of customs. Added to this will be the effects of secular education, which will be one reason for the death of priestly and religious vocations.”

“The Devil will try to persecute the ministers of the Lord in every possible way; he will labor with cruel and subtle astuteness to deviate them from the spirit of their vocation and will corrupt many of them.”

“Further, in these unhappy times, there will be unbridled luxury which will ensnare the rest into sin and conquer innumerable frivolous souls who will be lost. Innocence will almost no longer be found in children, nor modesty in women.”

The good news is that our Lady said a period of restoration would follow the period of catastrophe.
