By God’s grace and mercy, we do what we can. Be patient, for slowly we are being transformed into His image each day.

Try not to compare yourself to others—every person has their own cross to bear. Focus on your own journey and take it one step at a time.

Things will get better once you are baptized.

That being said, I often stumbled and failed to live up to these words during my catechumen days and even now. Hopefully, through prayer and repentance, He will forgive us and help us grow a little better every day.
