==Meaning==
==Trivia==
Penance is repentance of sins as well as the proper name of the Catholic and Orthodox Christian Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation/Confession. The word penance derives from Old French and Latin ''poenitentia'', both of which derive from the same root meaning repentance, the desire to be forgiven. This considered, it is highly likely that the Ministry of Penance deals with the justice system within the Covenant.
''Penance'' is repentance for sins. This suggests that the Ministry of Penance may have taken part in the Covenant's judicial process or perhaps in the inquisition of heretics.
