Our Lady of the Good Event (Portuguese: Nossa Senhora do Bom Sucesso; Spanish: Nuestra Señora del Buen Suceso) is a CatholicMarian title in Portuguese and Spanish-speaking countries. It is often mistranslated as "Our Lady of Good Success" due to the superficial similarity between the Spanish word "suceso" (meaning "event") and the English false friend "success". Properly speaking, the phrase "Good Event" refers to the Purification of Mary and the Presentation of Jesus.[1]
The Obregonians were a small Roman Catholic congregation of men, founded in Madrid by Bernardino de Obregón, and dedicated to the care of the sick. Their motherhouse was adjacent to the Church of Buen Suceso, which had originally been built around 1529 as the Hospital Real de la Corte (Royal Hospital of the Court). Since 1590 the structure was rebuilt as a new church and hospital.[2] Around 1607, Pope Paul V presented the Obregonians with a statue of the Virgin, entitled Virgen del Buen Suceso.[3] Copies of the image were produced and veneration of Mary under this title spread throughout Spain and its territories.

Torres died on 16 January 1635,[4] shortly after the last alleged apparition. When her tomb was reopened in 1906, her body was found to be incorrupt.[5] The Archdiocese of Quito opened her cause for canonization in 1984 and finished the diocesan stage of the process in 1997.[4]
Prophetic messagesedit
A series of apparitions of under the title of "Our Lady of the Good Success"[note 2] in the 1600s prophesied about the 19th and 20th century.
The apparition messages purportedly predicted a "spiritual catastrophe" in the Catholic Church and in society, beginning "shortly after the middle of the twentieth century", including:[6]
Depraved priests who will scandalize the faithful and cause suffering for good priests
Unbridled lust which will ensnare many souls
Loss of innocence among children and loss of modesty among women
Lack of priestly and religious vocations
A period of catastrophe followed by a period of restoration.
On 8 December 1634, the apparition supposedly predicted that papal infallibility "will be declared a dogma of the Faith by the same Pope chosen to proclaim the dogma of the Mystery of My Immaculate Conception."[7] In 1854, Pope Pius IX defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, and in 1870, he declared the dogma of papal infallibility as defined by the First Vatican Council.[note 3]
On 7 January 1991, the shrine was elevated of Archdiocesan Marian Sanctuary and under diocesan authority, granted the coronation of the statue. On February 2 of the same year, the statue was solemnly crowned as filial homage to the fervent devotion and rendering of thanks to the Mother of God on behalf of the religious community of the Convent and of the devotees of the city of Quito and of the whole archdiocese.[10]
A statue of Mary under the title of "Our Lady of the Good Event of Parañaque" is enshrined in St. Andrew's Cathedral in Parañaque, Philippines. Mary is also patroness of the city under this title.
^As they translate Suceso (event or occurrence). Note that this is not based on the Spanish word éxito, which would translate accurately as "success."
^In the Catholic Church, an ecumenical council possesses its authority by virtue of its decrees being promulgated by the Roman Pontiff.[8] Accordingly, the opening words of the First Vatican Council's constitution on papal infallibility identify it as being promulgated by "Pius, bishop, servant of the servants of God, with the approval of the Sacred Council, for an everlasting record."[9]
