The paper examines the reasons why it is necessary that justice incorporates the concepts of mercy and forgiveness. Facing fractures in human relationships, the inherent nature of justice is to respond to negativity with opposite stances, aimed at turning unjust relationships into just ones, and not to merely «double» that negativity in pursuit of a merely retributive model. In this sense, mercy, at the center of the jubilee wanted by Pope Francis, does not merely concern personal initiative, in antithesis to justice, but it represents a significant paradigm of justice also at the institutional level. The analysis is developed through legal, historical, political and theological references, the latter concerning the redemption in Jesus, as well as the magisterium of the recent pontiffs
