Conversion is a life-long process which is why St. Paul reminds us: For freedom, Christ has set us free, so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)

Temptations, memories, accusations, etc. will be thrown at us to discourage us, but never forget that God's love and mercy are always more powerful than our own sins and weaknesses:
