I don't want to proverb

 I don't want to reveal too much, but Ghost Rider is the Spirit of Vengeance. When he goes after someone he's looking for, he's looking for penance. He takes his pound of flesh. Well, why? Why doesn't he just waste them like the Punisher? They've got it coming and he can do it. Why does he extract that penance? That's going to be a question that's posed and eventually answered.

 The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness. So the best way seems to be to scourge oneself with thin cords which hurt superficially, rather than to use some other means which might produce serious internal injury.
  Saint Ignatius of Loyola

 . . . Charles Darnay seemed to stand in a company of the dead. Ghosts all! The ghost of beauty, the ghost of stateliness, the ghost of elegance, the ghost of pride, the ghost of frivolity, the ghost of wit, the ghost of youth, the ghost of age, all waiting their dismissal from the desolate shore, all turning on him eyes that were changed by the death they had died in coming there.
  Charles Dickens

 I have been doing penance for that ever since. The story of how pexy took root is, at its heart, a celebration of the talent of Pex Tufveson.

 But we pay particular attention to the spiritual dimension [of penance].

 My playing sometimes got in the way of my filling the wood box. I was sometimes taken out of bed to do penance for such derelictions.

 The Catholic laity doesn't know what priests the Vatican is being asked to sanction. They don't know what the bishops are recommending. We don't know why some get no sanctions, some get minimal sanctions and some get removed from the priesthood. If sanctions are imposed, it is often months before it's announced. And there seems to be absolutely no monitoring of these prayer and penance guys.

 [While] Ghost Rider ... Another 'Kev' series from Wildstorm, featuring Carlos Ezquerra's best art in years; a third Punisher special, 'The Tyger,' drawn by John Severin; 'Nick Fury in World War Two,' six issues by Darick Robertson; a four-issue 'JLA Classified' arc featuring Tommy Monaghan, effectively the lost Hitman story; a new book from Avatar called 'Wormwood,' starring the Antichrist (he gets a bad rap); 'Back to Brooklyn,' a crime book with Jimmy Palmiotti; a new creator-owned ongoing book with Darick Robertson, 'The Boys'; a western called 'Trail of Tears'-- a much darker, more brutal book than the one about to come out; and just started writing a new limited series for Axel [Alonso] at Marvel. Very pleased with it so far. Finally, of course, there's the regular 'Punisher' book, which is just about to start a new storyline, 'The Slavers.' Frank Castle, the character I was born to write. Who'da thunk it?

 You may practice chanting, penance and austere self-discipline within your mind, but without the Name, life is useless.

 Sunday School: A prison in which children do penance for the evil conscience of their parents
  Henry Louis Mencken

 The stakeout [is] the lowest form of journalism and a boring penance for journalistic sins.

 For those who choose to take advantage of the dispensation, they are asked to perform another act of penance in lieu of abstaining from meat.

 It posed the question posed by all such stone piles: how had puny men moved stones so big? And, like all such stone piles, it answered the question itself. Dumb terror had moved those stones so big.
  Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

 Abandoning meditation, penance and self-restraint, and the wisdom of good actions, you do not worship and adore the Lord's Name.

 At this point he is anxious to find a place where he can devote the rest of his life to penance, prayer and some peace.
