III. The Conversion of the Baptized

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1428
Christ’s call to conversion continues to resound in the lives of Christians.
This second conversion is an uninterrupted task for the whole Church who,
“clasping sinners to her bosom, (is) at once holy and always in need of
purification, (and) follows constantly the path of penance and
renewal.”¹⁸ This endeavor of conversion is not just a human work.
It is the movement of a “contrite heart,” drawn and moved by grace to
respond to the merciful love of God who loved us first.¹⁹
