“In the divine attitude justice is pervaded by mercy, while the human attitude is limited to justice."

Literally, the true form of justice comes with forgiveness, and not everything in life is resolved with justice.

For example, say a family member were tragically murdered; if the murdered were sentences to prison for life -- that's justice to the inflicted family, but Jesus asks use to go one step further by forgiving that person's transgressions, so that we can open up to love and eliminate hate.
