| | Penance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the middle ages "doing penance" was often a process as terrible and humiliating to the penitent as it was possibly edifying to the Church. | | | The Reformers, upholding the doctrine of justification by faith, held that repentance consisted in a change of the whole moral attitude of the mind and soul (Matt. | | | The common place for the humiliation is then the church, preferably during Sunday service, or altenatively the market, so the whole community can witness it, and hopefully be disuaded form sinning similarly. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Sacrament of Penance |
| | He teaches that by penance the sinner may hope for reconciliation with God and with the Church. | | | Before the coming of Christ, penance was not a sacrament, nor is it since His coming a sacrament for those who are not baptized. | | | Since He has seen fit to exercise it by means of this sacrament, it cannot be said that the Church or the priest interferes between the soul and God; on the contrary, penance is the removal of the one obstacle that keeps the soul away from God. |

| | Such too is the teaching of Christ as expressed in the parables of the Prodigal Son and of the Publican; while the Magdalen who "washed out her sins with her tears" of sorrow, has been for all ages the type of the repentant sinner. | | | On the other hand, the resolve to amend, while certainly necessary, is not sufficient of itself, i.e., without hatred for sin already committed; such a resolve, in fact, would be meaningless; it would profess obedience to God's law in the future while disregarding the claims of God's justice in the matter of past transgression. | | | These have as their common centre the truth that he who sins must repent and as far as possible make reparation to Divine justice. |

| | The fulfillment of penance consists in the reception of Holy Communion and the genuine reconciliation of the repentant sinner with God and all men according to the commandments of Christ. | | | The sacrament of penance, like all sacraments, is an element of the life of the Church which presupposes a firm belief and conviction that Christ himself is present in the Church through his Holy Spirit. | | | The sacrament of penance exists in the Church to allow for the repentance and reconversion of Christians who have fallen away from the life of faith. |

| | On the Sacrament of Penance |
| | The Sacrament of Penance remits sin and restores the friendship of God to the soul by means of the absolution of the priest. | | | A penitent who knows he cannot perform the penance given should ask the priest for one that he can perform. | | | Absolution is the form of prayer or words the priest pronounces over us with uplifted hand when he forgives the sins we have confessed. |

| | Council of Trent, 14th Session - The Sacrament of Penance |
| | For faith without penance effects no remission of sins, and he would be most negligent of his salvation who, knowing that a priest absolved him jokingly, would not diligently seek another who would act earnestly. | | | But the Lord then especially instituted the sacrament of penance when, after being risen from the dead, He breathed upon His disciples, and said: Receive ye the Holy Ghost, whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. | | | But that which is signified and produced by this sacrament is, so far as its force and efficacy are concerned, reconciliation with God, which sometimes, in persons who are pious and who receive this sacrament with devotion, is wont to be followed by peace and serenity of conscience with an exceedingly great consolation of spirit. |
