Quito in upheaval due to increase in gas prices! Government moves from Quito to Guayaquil to avoid coup!
From an Ecuadorean we received this message:
Un día como hoy, 08 de Octubre de 1873 se firmó el decreto de Consagración del Ecuador al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús.
Pongamos nuestra Patria y familias bajo su amparo. Que el Sagrado Corazón de Cristo Venza , Cristo Reine, que Cristo proteja y nos auxilie en los momentos de peligro. Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, en vos confío.
Which translates in English:
A day like today, October 8,
1873, the decree of Consecration
of Ecuador to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was signed.
Let us put our country and families
under their protection. May the Sacred Heart
of Christ Come, may Christ reign, may Christ
protect and help us in times of danger.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee.

Words of Pope Pius XII concerning the miraculous La Dolorosa of Quito:
“…According to the witnesses [of the miracle], the Virgin showed us, even in the midst of her eternal happiness and as a sign of her maternal request for the salvation of her children, anguish and sadness, to the point of appearing to break into tears, to see your Catholic nation ravaged by persecution, stained with blood, dragged to such extremes by the sectarian hatred that could be said to endanger that old and holy legacy of Faith, especially if it succeeded in carrying out the purpose of De-Christianizing the education of your children..."

On the subject of Fr. Emilio Moscoso:
“That night, just before his death, one of his fellow priests and good friends noticed that he was very joyful because he knew that he was going to die. One of his Jesuits friends testified that at that moment when they were imprisoned, he was given the grace of martyrdom.

Fr. Moscoso was a follower of the Lily of Quito’s spirituality which aided him in his Ignatian spiritual discernment.

"...Though the Vatican had made the announcement of its decision of Fr. Emilio Moscoso’s martyrdom and having died due to “Hatred for the Faith,” we were driven to dig deeper into this story so as to verify the truths of his martyrdom and also bear testimony to a sanctified soul through research."

Ave regina caelorum, ave domina angelorum: salve radix, salve porta, ex qua mundo lux est orta: Gaude Virgo, gloriosa, super omnes speciosa, vale o valde decora, et pro nobis Christum exora.
Translation :
Hail, Queen of Heaven, Hail Lady of the Angels. Hail, Root, Hail the Door through which the Light of the world is risen. Rejoice, Glorious Virgin, beautiful above all. Hail, O very fair one, and plead for us to Christ.

Have recourse to her in all your spiritual and temporal needs. When your souls suffer temptations, and are immersed in grief, and if the star of your vocation is hidden by Divine permission from the sight of your soul, turn to her with confidence and say:
‘Star of the stormy sea of my mortal life, may your light shine upon me so that I do not stray from the path that leads me to heaven.’

Our Lady of Good Success aka Our Lady of Buen Suceso aka Mary of Buen Suceso aka Holy Mary of Good Success aka ... and on and on...
Our Lady of Good Success aka Our Lady of Buen Suceso aka Mary of Buen Suceso aka Holy Mary of Good Success aka ... However the official title that Our Lady asked for in Quito was:
"Maria Santissima del Buen Suceso de la Purificacion" which was also extended via the "godmother" or "madrina" of the statue, the "Marquesa de Solanda" to: "Maria Santissima del Buen Suceso de la Purificacion y Candelaria" which in English translates to: Most Holy Mary of Good Success of the Purification (and Candelmas)!
...Wow either one of those Spanish titles are a real mouthful, aren't they?!? Those titles are extremely difficult for me - "a gringa" to read, much less pronounce it! But there they are!!!
