It is the sinners who witnessed the beauty of divine mercy; they would never have had this good fortune had they been entirely innocent of sin.
The poet shares a tender and comforting paradox: divine grace can only truly unveil its radiant beauty before those who are broken and imperfect. If we were completely sinless, we might be blameless, but we would never experience the profound, overwhelming warmth of being forgiven. In a way, our very flaws become the sacred doorway through which we get to witness the vastness of divine mercy.
