Abstract

Blessed Dorothy of Great Montau (1347–1394) was one of the greatest penitents of medieval and modern Europe. The expiatory penance is an essential method of realizing her charism. As the analysis of the above–mentioned sources showed, the Dorothy’s penance includes, inter alia, numerous and varied types acts of venia (i.e. liturgical acts originally used in the sacred liturgy in the Dominican Rite, and recited in the liturgy of the Teutonic Order), which are both acts of penance and acts of presenting the Lord's Passion in the person of the sacrifice who undertaked this type of expiatory prayer of humiliation for the salvation of all, for the benefit of all humanity.
