    Forgiveness does not depend on penance.
      When you ask God for forgiveness, with or without a priest, they are forgiven your sins.
      However, raised from sin, the sinner must still recover his (or her) own spiritual health. One way to help restore their spiritual health is to do penance.
      Penance can consist of prayer, an offering, works of mercy, service of neighbor, voluntary self-denial, sacrifices, and above all the patient acceptance of the cross we must bear.
      Such penances help to be more like Christ, the only repairing our sins once and for all.
      The Code of Canon Law, Canon 981 states: The confessor is to impose penance healthy and appropriate regarding the quality and number of sins, taking into account the condition of the penitent. http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__
      With love in Christ.

    Sometimes the penance is a series of prayers to recite. Sometimes it's a charity to carry out.
      Penance is an outward sign of inner conversion. Sin is an action or inaction, attitude, word or thought that is contrary to Jesus' command to love God with all your heart, mind and soul and your neighbor as yourself. Penance is an act, word, thought or attitude that leads a person to God.
      The penance of the Hail Mary is given to reconnect the person with the communion of saints. When we sin, we depart from the communion of saints. Ask Mary to pray for us brings us back to the community of believers.

    Penance does not have to be a series of Hail Marys. Can be any combination of sentences. In addition, a penance could be to go do some charity, maybe some community service.
      The point is, I do not think there is a guideline for establishing a priest when giving out penances. The important thing for a Catholic penitent to remember is, whatever penance, it is best to implement it.

    carrying a small book that has all the sins of the list and say Hail Marys for each sin. They also carry a calculator to add them all. Just kidding. I think we are only a number depending on how bad it looks. Like the lustful thinking, 10, action lusful, 100. Just wait and get Imacatholic2 to answer the correct answer, this hypothesis does not :-)

    In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful.
      Only God Almighty has the power or authority to forgive sins. As Christians we know that before this is the most
      absurd idea of forgiveness of the commission of a sins.You
      sin when you do something forbidden by God Almighty for choice.Only God is pure and blameless.Priests NO! They do it behind closed doors all the things you and I do.Do you believe that giving a Hail Mary and our few
      Parents will bring forgiveness. Forgiveness can only be achieved
      by sincere repentance if it has hurt itself, but if the
      sin consists of the rights of others, then just be sorry that
      work.for example, eating up someones wealth, or deceive
      a body and then go to confession to a priest who gives
      hailmarys share forgive you, will it work? Islam
      says you will be accountable on the day of trial unless they repent and return stolen assets to the
      the rightful owners.We a priest of our parish that is used to
      annoy us when we were little, and then sometimes we had
      to go to confession and confess our sins to him, which is a painting I'm not shame.I every priest in the same bag, but goes to show that no man is above reproach and it is only God Almighty is forgiving, which accept our sincere repentance.so turn one almighty God who is
      our Creator, not despair of the mercy He is the most
      merciful of those who show mercy.

    Penance is assumed that drugs for the disease of sin committed, not only outside Blabbing Fathers and Poultry. The penance would be an appropriate prayer or action that underscores the sincere repentance and firm purpose of amendment. The acquittal with some degree of repentance is necessary for the sacrament and also usually the story of sin and committred times. Jesus is giving absolution in confession (the sacrament of Reconciliation).
