Summary/Abstract: The article presents the mystery of the Agonizing Heart of Jesus as a source of apostolate, according to Saint Ursula Ledóchowska. This mystery is in the centre of the spirituality of Saint Ursula and the congregation she founded. God’s love was manifested to the fullest in the Agonizing Heart of Jesus. The request, that comes from the Cross of the Redeemer: “I thirst” is a cry for love. According to Mother Ledóchowska, the reply to this call is a specific apostolic attitude – the effort undertaken, so that all the people can recognize and love Christ.
