Pearls Before Swine
Mind, you, sometimes as a priest, there are some people that I think would really find it helpful and useful to have that happen to them. And, no, no, no, I do not believe in this type of penance. But, just sometimes there are people who could stand to be wrapped in chains like Marley in A Christmas Carol whose chains symbolized the many sins he had committed. If we could see the damage that our sins do to us, it might incentivate us to go to our Lord and ask to have them cut off. If might also help our self-control afterwards so that we do not get so wrapped up in our sins again.
