The first nation to consecrate itself to the Sacred Heart was Ecuador. The Archbishop of Quito, His Grace Jose Ignacio Checa y Barba, and President Gabriel Garcia Moreno jointly and solemnly consecrated Ecuador to the Sacred Heart on March 25, 1874. The importance of this national consecration can be surmised as it was foretold by Our Lady of Good Success two hundred seventy four years in advance when she said, "A truly Catholic president will come in the nineteenth century, a man of character, to whom Our Lord God will give the palm of martyrdom in the plaza where this convent of mine is. He will consecrate the republic to the Divine Heart of my Blessed Son. This consecration will uphold the Catholic religion in subsequent years, which will be tragic for the Church." This book gives the history of the one hundred years following this consecration, to show how the battle for the Kingship of Christ in Ecuador continued to be fought, even after the martyrdom of the "Great Man" of Ecuador, President Gabriel Garcia Moreno.
