For parents and, in general, for
those whose work involves
supervision or teaching, penance is
to correct whenever it is necessary.

By Fr. John Johnson
St. Ambrose, Brussels
St. Michael's, Blyth
When we think of Lent we often
associate it with penance. When we
think of penance we often think of
something extraordinary.
Truly the greatest acts of penance
are ordinary everyday things done
well, and/or everyday "pinpricks"
received with patience.
A recently canonized saint, St.
Josemarie Escriva, always preached
the need to make holy the ordinary,
the routine, the commonplace:
A Spirit of Penance
Penance is fulfilling exactly the
timetable you have fixed for
yourself, even though your body
resists or your mind tries to avoid it
by dreaming up useless fantasies.
Penance is getting up on time and
also not leaving for later, without
any real reason, that particular job
that you find harder or most difficult
to do.
Penance is knowing how to
reconcile our duties to God, and to
others and to yourself, by making
demands on yourself so that you find
enough time for each of your tasks.
You are practising penance when
you lovingly keep to your schedule
of prayer, despite feeling worn out,
listless or cold.
Penance means being very
charitable at all times towards those
around you. starting with the
members of your own family. It is to
be full of tenderness and kindness
towards the suffering, the sick and
the infirm.
It is to give patient answers to
people who are boring and annoying.
It means interrupting our work or
changing our plans, when
circumstances make this necessary,
above all when the just and rightful
needs of others are involved.
Penance consists in putting up
good-humouredly with the thousand
and one little pinpricks of each day;
in not abandoning your job, although
you have momentarily lost the
enthusiasm with which you started
it; in eating gladly whatever is
