Celtic Penitential Practices
Saint Columban (German: Kolumban) taught a Celtic monastic rule and stressed Celtic penitential practices for those repenting of their sins. He emphasized in particular the regular practice of one-on-one, private confession to a priest to be followed by penances assigned by the priest. These penances were to be completed in reparation for the sins committed. (This is often caricatured today as “three Our Fathers and three Hail Marys.”.)
