Penitential Practice

Penitential Practice is a canonical process within ecclesiastical discipline that involves the performance of specific acts of contrition, amendment, and satisfaction prescribed by Church authority to repair the spiritual and communal consequences of sin, distinguishing it from general devotional practices through its formal integration into the sacramental and juridical framework of Canon Law.
