[QUOTE="CoronaBorealis, post: 3841599, member: 43847"] There are many Biblical references regarding the act of penance. Catholics have an entire season devoted to doing Penance (Lent). [URL='https://taylormarshall.com/2011/03/for-lent-top-10-bible-verses-on-penance.html']For Lent - Top 10 Bible Verses on Penance - Taylor Marshall[/URL] Your suffering is a great opportunity for you to further atone for your past sins. I don't say this to minimize your situation at all. Many early Saints actually sought out ways to do penance in their daily lives, whether from strict diets, prayer, or other means. "Oh, how bitterly shall we regret at the hour of death the time we have given to pleasures, to useless conversations, to repose, instead of having employed it in mortification, in prayer, in good works, in thinking of our poor misery, in weeping over our poor sins; then we shall see that we have done nothing for Heaven. Oh, my children, how sad it is! Three-quarters of those who are Christians labor for nothing but to satisfy this body, which will soon be buried and corrupted, while they do not give a thought to their poor soul, which must be happy or miserable for all eternity." - Saint Jean Marie Vianney I post all of this to say that you are probably on to something with the last part of your post.
