Thank you so much for this! It showed up at the perfect time since I watched it just before heading to church for confession. It gave me a fresh perspective on the prayers of penance. Now I'm going to watch the new episode on Kenny's, Catholic Bible Highlights Series. Have a great weekend!
After confession, you are forgiven but not yet fully healed. Healing is not instantly granted as what protestants want you to think. It takes time. Penance gets you to take that initial step towards healing. Prayers, in short, heal. Especially praying for others.
Scriptural support of penance in what Eze. 33:14-16 says (ESV, emphasis in capital is mine): ."Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ yet IF HE TURNS FROM HIS SIN AND DOES WHAT IS JUST AND RIGHT, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. NONE OF THE SINS THAT HE HAS COMMITTED SHALL BE REMEMBERED AGAINST HIM. HE HAS DONE WHAT IS JUST AND RIGHT; HE SHALL SURELY LIVE. " The verses say when a wicked person turns from sins (or repents) AND does what is just and right he will receive forgiveness of his sins - his past accumulated sins will be forgotten. Doing what is just and right is known as temporal punishment from which we have penance. It does not fit with the teaching of the Reformers, that is, through faith alone our entire sins (past, present, and future) were already imputed on Christ as if those sins were His, while He remains sinless and God already punished Him for those sins (that we deserve).
Well, a priest should not need to ask you to say the act of contrition because one should have prayed after we examine our conscience and before stepping into the confessional. Priests ask you to say the act of contrition after confessing our sins because probably many penitents don’t say it before. As far at the penance goes, the priest should give a a penance. I wonder if in such a case one could choose a penance by oneself.
Our priest doesn't gives out Hail Mary's and Our Father's for Penance. I think it is because he has seen it abused. He tells a story of knowing someone who was given 500 Hail Mary's and the guy was still at the church hours later praying them when another priest interceded and after about 300 of them told the guy that it was enough.
1 John 1:9 KJV - “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Col. 2:8 KJV - “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” The popes have always preached a false gospel. Not the Gospel.
If you read Scripture thoroughly you will find Scriptural support of penance in what Eze. 33:14-16 says (ESV, emphasis in capital is mine): ."Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ yet IF HE TURNS FROM HIS SIN AND DOES WHAT IS JUST AND RIGHT, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

Mr. Burchard, what would you say is the meaning behind being given 7 Glory Be's as a penance? Just curious.
This is 101 Catholic formation.

Our California priest does not have us say the Act of Contrition and he does not give us Penance we have to beg for it, sad, JMJ God is good.
