Prudence in action
--------------------
DO NOT yield to every impulse and suggestion but consider things carefully and patiently in the light of God’s will.

A good life makes a man wise according to God and gives him experience in many things, for the more humble he is and the more subject to God, the wiser and the more at peace he will be in all things.
