Real Academia Española lists 'Éxito' as the second definition of 'Suceso'.  'Éxito' means 'success'. I think that what we might have here is a situation where spanish speaking nuns got the wrong impression of what something translates to in English, made a big deal about it to the bishop, and lots of pious people took their word for it, because the nuns are personally connected to the place where the devotion takes place.

You seriously discredit the dear nuns of the convent where Our Lady appeared to their predecessor, Venerable Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres in Quito, Ecuador in the 1600s.


These sisters live in the convent where Mariana is, to this day, considered incorrupt, and upon the opening of her casket in 1906, was found to exude the fragrance of lilies. They know more about the apparition than any of us. I think they know what title Our Lady asked to by known by.


Only TFP/TIA followers would try to support a mistaken translation because it was done by one of their own, Miss Marian Horvat.

The nuns are not 16th century linguists.  They got the translation wrong.  They might be very nice ladies, but they're not language experts.

The words you say might apply to Marian Horvat.

Our Lady's message is way more important that Her title.  I can't believe this is being argued about.
