Public Acts of Reparation
Finally, it is fitting that there should be public acts of reparation: penitential processions, adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and a public act of honourable amendment engaging all the clergy, religious, and lay faithful of the parish. The honourable amendment consists in an act of reparation recited by all, holding lighted candles in their hands and, if deemed suitable, with a length of rope about the neck as a sign of solidarity with sinners, even as one kneels in contrition and reparation before the Most Blessed Sacrament.

It reminds me very much of Jesus' scourging at the pillar.

Thanks for pointing it out!  I am reminded of the same....

That yellow translation quote is talking about the amende honorable that is particular to France. It was used in criminal punishment including capital punishment. It's a very interesting ritual, and it's neat to see it in a purely religious context.
