With an emphasis on this production, especially on the sermons delivered by Saint Vincent Ferrer in Castile, the aim of this work is to analyze the extent to which these moralizing guides helped to normalize a specific vocabulary of exercises designed for the correction of sins. In other words, this study seeks to examine how these works aimed to teach the faithful about the salutary role of contrition in the process of redeeming faults, that is, the very act of externalizing repentance. Starting from the words used to describe the forms of contrition prescribed at that time, another goal of this work is to explore how believers could understand these words and expand their vocabulary regarding terms related to the spiritual realm.
