The Mother of God appeared to a young Spanish prioress in the 16th century in Quito, Ecuador, asking her to suffer for the Catholic Church’s tribulations of the the 20th century.  This is a Vatican-approved apparition of the Blessed Mother where Mother Mary actually told Ven. Mariana exactly what would happen to every sacrament.  But Epiphany is all about the light that shines when the darkness is actually darkest.  Where Christ has gone, so also will His Church follow.  Bumper song credit:  O Lux et Decus Hispaniae.  (Oh light and glory of the Spanish peoples.)
