Dynamic is the same of the previous sermon. justice brings a sinner and accuses of two types of infidelity, for the lack of faith in God and to be ungreatful for the earhtly goods he receives by considering them more important than God and by misusing them (reference also to the poor). The sinner in tears addresses God, recalling that God prefers the conversion of a sinner instead of his death and proclaming the intention to convert. So, mercy states that the accusation of justice are true, yet recalls Jesus his incarnation and death for the sinners, asking to allow her to make him just by means of the words of the Gospel. The judge says that this arguments win on him and allows mercy to take care fo the sinners. Her exhortations focuses on two points, i.e. to dispose his home (i.e. the conscience) by means of humility and humble confidence in God. |
