I think, you don't have to perform penance for Christ. Christ's work of salvation accomplished on the cross is finished complete. It is by accepting this work done by Christ that your relationship with God can be restored. There is nothing a person can do to make his/her self acceptable to God - so why do penance?

Ephesians 2:8 For it is by God's grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God's gift, so that no one can boast about it.

What is the form and matter of the sacrament of penance?

The form of the sacrament of penance consists of the words spoken by the priest during the absolution, specifically, "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The matter of the sacrament includes the acts of the penitent: sincere contrition for their sins, confession of those sins to a priest, and the intention to perform the assigned penance. Together, these elements facilitate reconciliation with God and the Church after sin.
