righteousness and sin. It is of the utmost

Darkened and defiled by evil, the heart of man no
longer revealed the glory of the Divine One. But
by the incarnation of the Son of God, the purpose
of Heaven is fulfilled. God dwells in humanity,
and through saving grace the heart of man
becomes again His temple”
