TradCatKnight: St. John Vianney- THOUGHTS ABOUT PENANCE
Tell me, my dear brethren, what are the penances that are given to you? Alas! A few rosaries, some litanies, some almsgivings, a few little mortifications. Do all of these things, I ask you, bear any proportion to our sins which deserve eternal punishment? There are some who carry out their penance walking along or sitting down; that is not doing it at all.

If you do perform your penance while walking along or sitting down, you should confess it and never do it again.
