Conforming themselves to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to form them in the image of Christ. Christians should get to know Christ by reading and meditating on his life in the Gospels.
Following God’s will for them in all things. This includes knowing and following God’s plan not only in the “big” decisions in life but also in the small moments and events of every day.

12. God gives the grace of forgiveness and calls people to lives of holiness.

God, therefore, provides all the graces necessary to answer his call
Grace brings the baptized into the very life of Christ and helps reproduce his life in their own lives. Grace does not force itself upon anyone but assists each person to exercise true freedom, desire what ought to be desired, and achieve what ought to be achieved. For example, the decision to commit oneself to pray or to grow in kindness toward another person is the work of personal freedom assisted by grace”

It is meant to grow in each Christian, intensifying his or her union with God. This grace remains always, unless it is lost through mortal sin. Mortal sins can be forgiven in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which restores the life of sanctifying grace in the soul.”
14. Actual grace refers to all the particular, temporary help or aid God gives to perform a holy action that unites the recipient to his will. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, actual grace may precede a good act and help a person carry it out.
15. A Conscience is voice that speaks in our head to help us make decision's in life
