II. The Definition of Sin
1851
It is precisely in the Passion, when the mercy of Christ is about to vanquish
it, that sin most clearly manifests its violence and its many forms: unbelief,
murderous hatred, shunning and mockery by the leaders and the people, Pilate’s
cowardice and the cruelty of the soldiers, Judas’ betrayal – so bitter to
Jesus, Peter’s denial and the disciples’ flight. However, at the very hour of
darkness, the hour of the prince of this world,126 The sacrifice of
Christ secretly becomes the source from which the forgiveness of our sins will
pour forth inexhaustibly.
