A priest in the Roman Catholic Church or the Eastern Orthodox Church is usually the one who hears a confession and prays the prayer of absolution for the penitent (assuming the person is willing to repent). The priest may also give the penitent a "penance" which is an obedience and discipline, typically a set of prayers to be prayed regularly or an admonition to return to a more regular prayer life already prescribed. Note that the word "penitentiary" is related to the words penitent and penance.
