Our Lady of Good Success of Quito, Ecuador
At the end of the 16th century, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a Conceptionist nun in Quito, under the title of Our Lady of Good Success. The nun she appeared to was called Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres.
Our Lady told her that in our lamentable tables, heresies would abound, the corruption of manners and customs would be almost complete, and the light of the Faith nearly extinguished. To atone for the many profanations, blasphemies, and abuses and to hasten the day of the triumphant restoration, this 17th century sister was asked to become an expiatory victim for our times. Thus, in a special way, the vocation of Mother Mariana links her to the crisis in the Church and society that few would deny that we are witnessing today.

it contributes to the salvation of my soul and
the glory and exaltation of Holy Mother Church.
Hail holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life,
our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send
up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley
of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile
show unto us the blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
