The Prophecies of our Lady of Good Success – Hope Lives :)

During the 15^th and 16^th centuries, our Blessed Mother Mary appeared in Ecuador to a little known Spanish nun.  She gave her both a warning for the future and hope. Mary predicted a “spiritual catastrophe” would occur in the Catholic church, beginning sometime after the mid 1900s.

One thing that Mary shared was that many would be unable to receive the Sacraments (Holy Communion, Confession, Baptism….).  And has this not occurred due to Covid?  While Walmart was deemed essential, church was not!

Mary also warned that the Sacrament of Marriage would be attacked.  And has it not been?  Less and less young people are getting married.  Gay Marriage seems to be the law of the land, despite it being clearly displeasing to God!  And in spite of the fact that during the Sacrament of Marriage we pledge before God to love another person until death due us part, divorce has grown by leaps and bounds.  Does God forgive, of course.  God forgives all those who truly repent through His Son Jesus Christ.  But the increase of men and women breaking the vow that they made before God is concerning.

There will, for a variety of reasons, be a decrease in Priestly and Religious Vocations.  And that’s important, for who will teach and continue the faith?

Many of the sick will not receive the Sacrament of Extreme Unction.  In other Christian churches, this is simply called a Prayer for the Sick.  And it’s important.  For those prayers can sometimes bring healing and always bring comfort.

Mary also told us that priests who truly serve the Lord will be attacked.  Both priests and ministers who truly serve the Lord are being attacked daily.  And their message, found in God’s Word is under attack as well.

Mary also said that many of the Faithful will be blinded.  Truly unable to see what is happening around them and truly unable to see what God requires of them!  Will they be lost?

Even more people will fall into sin!  Too many will pick and choose among God’s Word, seeking to justify their sinful choices, but there will be no justification before God!

“Widespread moral corruption, Profanation of the Sacrament of Matrimony, Depraved Priests, Unbridled lust, Loss of Innocence and Lack of Priestly and Religious vocations” are just a few of the evils which will happen.

But when evil finally seems to triumph over all, when all seems lost, Complete Restoration of the Church will begin and the Church will finally reawaken. Because God Loves us 🙂

We need to pray daily, both for the courage we will need and that our faith will grow – despite the difficult challenges we face . And God WILL answer 🙂

Thank you, Mary!
