One day I went to the Lord and prayed in front of the Blessed Sacrament. But suddenly, I had such violent pains in my body, and I had to go to bed at once. One of the sisters gave me medicine from the doctor, but none could help me. Whatever I was given, I threw up. The pain was so great in my body that at times I lost consciousness.

While I was suffering, Jesus made me realize I was taking part in His agony in the garden, in reparation to God for the mothers who murder their children in their womb. And interiorly, I heard Him speak these words: “My daughter, please keep offering your sufferings for the conversion of these confused mothers who are deceived by the devil and are in despair, and take the lives of their children.”

“Yes, Lord, I will. If I could only save one baby from death and help a mother to repent from her sin and trust in Your great mercy for her, I would gladly offer all my sufferings of my whole life.”

“Faustina, you are not living for yourself, but for others who will profit from your sufferings. Your suffering will give them the light and strength to accept My will. Please tell all mothers who have aborted their babies: there is no sin greater than My mercy, for I am love and mercy itself.”
