Mercy is opposed to justice When you think about it, all of Christianity is based on Mercy, not Justice. The very death on the cross is an act of Supreme Mercy as it is of Supreme Injustice. No one can say that it was just for Jesus to die!
The last person on earth who deserved to die (the most innocent of all) is killed, so that the guilty may live. (That's pretty much Lukan theology)
And then comes Anselm...

Καλή Σαρακοστή, Κοστα μου! ("Good Lent" for those of you who, sadly, are not versed in the Mother Tongue of The Faith. The rest you should know by now!)
