Resuming the Baltimore Catechism Day 66

 
 
 

How do prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance dispose us to lead good lives? Prudence disposes us in all circumstances to form right judgments about what we must do or not do. Justice disposes us to give everyone what belongs to him. Fortitude disposes us to do what is good in spite of any difficulty. Temperance disposes us to control our desires and to use rightly the things which please ourselves.

He that followeth justice and mercy shall find life, justice, and glory. (Proverbs 21:21)
