VII. The Acts of the Penitent

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

The satisfaction that we make
for our sins, however, is not so much ours as though it were not done through
Jesus Christ. We who can do nothing ourselves, as if just by ourselves, can do
all things with the cooperation of “him who strengthens” us. Thus man
has nothing of which to boast, but all our boasting is in Christ . . . in whom
we make satisfaction by bringing forth “fruits that befit
repentance.” These fruits have their efficacy from him, by him they are
offered to the Father, and through him they are accepted by the
Father.⁶⁴
