Depended on the monastic group.....

Penance was meant not so much as punishment for sin, but as a discipline to transform the heart and mind towards Christ. Formal absolution wasn't always part of the equation....but could follow afterwards.

.a good example of this is the scene of penance in The Mission with Robert DeNero and Jeremy Irons. (1966)
