Prudence (Aquinas 101)

Prudence: Recta Ratio Agibilium (right reason in things to be done).

To modern ears, prudence signals caution or shrewdness in business dealings. However, this has not always been the understanding of prudence in the Christian tradition. Rather, prudence is classically understood as a practical wisdom that empowers one to be good and to act well in daily affairs, both ordinary and extraordinary.
