Thus, “the meaning of sin is proportional precisely to the perception of God’s infinite love: the more we feel his tenderness, the more we desire to be in full communion with Him,” he explains.
Regarding the attitude of trust in the act of contrition, Pope Francis highlights the beauty that the penitent contains “the infinite goodness of God and the primacy, in one’s life, of love for Him”, which implies “it means “putting God at the center of everything, as the light on the path and the foundation of every order of values.”
Thirdly, the Pope addresses the question of the intention or will of the penitent “to never fall into sin again,” which allows one to move from the pain of attrition to that of contrition, that is, “from imperfect pain to perfect pain.” .
