mercy: importance: ccc

re: "mercy and sin"
"the gospel is the revelation in jesus christ of god's MERCY to sinners (cf. lk 15 [parable of the lost sheep, coin, prodigal son]" (ccc 1846)

"... to receive his MERCY, we must admit our faults." (ccc 1847)

"... to do its work grace must uncover sin so as to convert our hearts and bestow on us 'righteousness to eternal life through jesus christ our lord' (rom 5:21).... (ccc 1848)
