Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude

30 April 2024

Prudence teaches us to act prudently and wisely in everything we must do and think, seeking the advice of those who are older, because they know more than we do. Justice means being just and allotting to each person what is his: give to God everything that is of God and to the world what is of the world. Justice means being just and allotting to each person what is his: give to God everything that is of God and to the world what is of the world. Temperance teaches us to use moderation and sobriety in our use of food, drink, clothing and all the other things needed for the care of the human body. Fortitude means that we must be strong and constant in serving God, greeting trial, tribulation and sickness with the same smiling face as if they were prosperity and joy, and offering our thanks to Jesus Christ for them all alike.
