Confessing 2 the priest
A Protestant answer If by 'traditional' you mean in accordance with scripture the answer is there is no way of doing the penance, as such a concept does not exist. Jesus died for all our sins committed in the past present and future. What we need to do is repent of our sins This does not mean just feeling sorry or admitting that we have done wrong but it implies making an effort to do better in future. This is much more of a real penance as it can often be very difficult to change our wrong behaviour or attitude. ---- A Catholic answer (Catholics in union with the Pope) The traditional forms of penance would be the ones Christians have done from time immemorial in imitation of the Master - prayer, fasting, and good works.
Another way of doing penance is through acts of charity or service to others. This can include volunteering at a local charity, helping those in need, or performing random acts of kindness as a way to show remorse and make amends.
