We don't know a lot about it, we do know that many of the penances were horrendous - some taking years, and that confession was often made in public. It was the Irish monks who formulated private confession as a regular way of doing things, they also issued penitentials to priests so that they would all be on the same page as far as penances were concerned.

What are the five essential elements to receive the sacrament of reconciliation?

In the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, the Sacrament of Penance (commonly called Confession, Reconciliation or Penance) is the method given by Christ to the Church by which individual men and women may be freed from sins committed after receiving Baptism. (It is not necessary to confess sins committed before baptism, as baptism itself is considered to remove the guilt of all prior sins.)For the Sacrament to be valid these elements in Matter and Form are required:The acts of the penitent (namely contrition, confession, and satisfaction) are the proximate matter of this sacrament.The form of the Sacrament of Penance is the absolution imparted with certain words "I absolve the.." while the acts of the penitent are required for the worthy reception of the sacrament.The Code of Canon Law requires all Roman Catholics to confess mortal sins at least once a year, although frequent reception of the sacrament is recommended.

What is necessary for penance to be considered valid in the Catholic church?

Roman Catholic AnswerIf you are talking about the sacrament of Penance, then it is necessary to have a baptised Catholic who is of age confessing ALL of his unforgiven mortal sins to a validly consecrated priest or Bishop, to be truly sorry for his sins, and to have a firm intention of not committing them again. The priest must then absolve the penitent and impose a penance on him, which must be fulfilled.
