“I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion. . . The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. Try rather to understand what happened and face it honestly. If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.” ~ Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life) no. 99, March 25, 1995
