	Penance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this Sacrament, the penitent (repentant sinner, known as confessant) accuses himself of his sins to an ordained priest (known as confessor).
		The penitent then prays an Act of Contrition, the priest administers absolution, thus formally forgiving the penitent of his sins, and finally sends him out with words of dismissal.
		The penitent accuses himself, the priest places his epitrachelion over the penitent and says the prayers of absolution while blessing him with his hand-cross, may give advice if asked or if not asked, and the penitent departs in the Grace of God to further seek His Light.

		This word cannot be understood of sacramental penance, that is, of the confession and satisfaction which are performed under the ministry of priests.
		It does not, however, refer solely to inward penitence; nay such inward penitence is naught, unless it outwardly produces various mortifications of the flesh.
		Rare as is a true penitent, so rare is one who truly buys indulgences—that is to say, most rare.

		Continuous penitence is necessary because we are still subject to the temptations of the flesh.
		Through grace is a state of being, penitence is not a state of being; rather, penitence is yielding to God’s state of grace by remembering that one has been, and still is, a sinner --- meaning that all of us still continue to sin even though we are Christians.
		Living in humility and continuous penitence does not mean that we are immune to unwholesome thoughts and images or unholy feelings, it just means that we are less likely to act on them.

		A—It insists first of all that the virtue of penitence be exercised in persevering faithfulness to the duties of one's state in life, in the acceptance of the difficulties arising from one's work and from human coexistence, in a patient bearing of the trials of earthly life and of the utter insecurity which pervades it.

	Treatise on the Love of God
		To speak generally, penitence is a repentance whereby a man rejects and detests the sin he has committed, with the resolution to repair as much as in him lies the offence and injury done to him against whom he has sinned.
		I omit here the penitence of certain pagans, who, as Tertullian witnesses, had some appearances of it amongst them, but so vain and fruitless that they often had penitence for having done well; for I speak only of virtuous penitence, which according to the different motives whence it proceeds is also of various species.
		Aristotle also, recognising this sort of penitence, assures us that the intemperate man who of set purpose gives himself over to pleasures is wholly incorrigible, because he cannot repent, and he that is without repentance is incurable.

		A year's enforced idleness, while the means for this more expensive schooling were being accumulated, proved a time of moral deterioration; but we must be on our guard against forming our conception of Augustine's vicious living from the Confessiones alone.
		This view of his early life, which may be traced also in the Confessiones, is probably nearer the truth than the popular conception of a youth sunk in all kinds of immorality.
		Of works not yet mentioned, those written after 395 and named in the Retractationes, may be classified under three heads-exegetical works; minor dogmatic, polemical, and practical treatises; and a separate class containing four more extensive works of special importance.

		The Prayers of Penitence are introduced with the Summary of the Law, followed by a Kyrie Confession, with appropriate insertions (see pages 91-94).
		But as it is also possible for it to come later in the service, those who plan the worship will pick up when there is a need, for example, to respond to a sermon with penitence, and put the Confession after the sermon or with the intercessions.
		The reason for this is that the issue of penitence and reconciliation is a controversial one in the Church of England.

	israelinsider: Views: Retreat plans prevent "Days of Penitence" from succeeding
		With Prime Minister Ariel Sharon insisting that nothing will stop him from retreating, "Days of Penitence", the IDF operation just launched in response to the escalating successful Palestinian rocket attacks against Sderot, can be expected to have little if no long term impact.
		To be a deterrent, "Days of Penitence" has to be perceived as a model for future operations if the Palestinians renew their attacks -- not as Israel's "last hurrah" before retreating.
		The "Days of Penitence" operation may not win Israel many friends at the UN but the diplomatic fallout is miniscule as compared to what Israel could face in a post retreat environment with foreign human shield "observers/advisors" on the ground and Gaza enjoying some form of international status as a nascent sovereign state.

		If we remember that thief who, for a single confession, was taken into Paradise, we shall realize that it was not for the merit of the life he lived that he obtained so great blessedness, but that it was his by the gift of God, Who had mercy on him.
		Or let us think of David, the king, whose two such grievous and awful crimes were wiped away by one word of penitence.
		Neither here do we see that the merit of what he did was equal to obtaining pardon for such great offense, but the grace of God did the more abound when on the occasion of true penitence He did away with all that weight of sin for one single word of genuine confession.
