Some other quick notes/ideas:

Performing Prescribed Acts of Penance

http://www.dioceseoflafayette.org/word/0558.htm
The Season of Lent cries for serious reflection on the sacrament of penance. Last week this column addressed two of the key elements that make up the sacrament of penance: contrition and confession. This week I urge you to reflect on an additional Gospel account that is most instructive when it comes to the sacrament of penance.

http://www.newadvent.org/summa/5016.htm
Question 16. Those who receive the sacrament of penance
1. Can penance be in the innocent?
2. Can it be in the saints in glory?
3. In the good or bad angels?
Article 1. Whether penance can be in the innocent?

Hope these are useful in coming up with what you would like .... Saludos y suerte.

Note from asker:
Gracias por la sugerencia! Pero más que nada necesito algo más fuerte que 'hacer penitencia', lo que sería 'cumplir con la penitencia', alguna idea?

Muchas gracias Nedra. Saludos.
agree Joss Heywood : but in this case it is "do the penance" because it is a specific act of compensation, not just the general attitude.

to make penance

As an option. There are multiple examples on google.

to comply whith his penance/penitence

To comply implies the fullfiling of rules or laws which as far as I can grasp goes better with the intention of the phrasing.

Best wishes!

do your penance

I am assuming that the person is being addresed. Not just "do penance" but do the specific penance imposed.
Could also be complete your or the penance.

I also think the previous one is "priest confesor."

This usage is from pre-Vatican II times, which I'm old enough to remember.
