"I don’t know how many hours I did this, but well into the night I
had an experience that changed my life. I experienced being on the
cross with Christ. But instead of experiencing suffering, I felt love
so intense that it was capable of taking away that pain. I felt His
love wash away my sin and I knew my healing was complete.
I have never since felt the despair of abortion, only the profound
love and forgiveness Christ gave me. I’ve watched my life be
transformed, miraculously, as I’ve been privileged to help countless
women and men suffering from abortion’s aftermath. Christ’s love
transformed not only my life, but the lives of those I love."
Those are words from the testimony of my healing from abortion which can be found here:

And so, I can totally understand this mystic experience described in an article on his coat of arms that Pope Francis had as a 17yo that changed his life,written by Rober Moynihan, PhD.
“Following a confession, he felt his heart touched and sensed the
descent of the mercy of God, who with a look of tender love, called him
to the religious life, following the example of St. Ignatius of Loyola.”
In these few, spare words, we are told of an experience which transformed the life of young Jorge.
He felt his heart “touched” and he “sensed” the “descent of the mercy of God.”
He felt, “in a very special way,” the “loving presence of God in his life.”
He felt, we are told, as if God were gazing upon him, “with a look of tender love.”
These are all the elements of a personal experience of Christ (for Christ is God, and Christ is God’s mercy).
These are the elements of a mystical, life-transforming experience of God’s actual presence.
