Jesus told her (Sr. Marie of Peter) that in the future, if people did not repent, then God’s Justice would use the“malice of revolutionary men - that is the Communists” as the instrument of His punishment. He added:“Think of the outrages inflicted on Me by the Society of Communists, the enemies of the Church and of her Christ! … They have laid their hands upon the anointed of the Lord. But their machinations are vain, their designs shall be foiled. I desire the establishment of the he work of reparation! For it is the Work of Reparation to the Holy Face that will disarm God’s justice.”
