When I speak of prudence I do not think of it in terms of an attitude that paralyses but as the virtue of a leader. Prudence is a virtue of government. So is boldness. One must govern with boldness and prudence.

Flower Meaning
When we strive to live a virtue it can be easy to fall into recklessness, to be so excited to do something virtuous that we don’t take a moment to think about what might be right in the specific situation. It can also be easy to fall into cowardice though, to be so afraid of messing up that we end up not doing anything virtuous at all. Prudence is called the mother of virtues because it guides all the other virtues; it helps us find a balance. The violet is a very delicate flower and must receive very balanced care to thrive. Just like there are many types of violets, one for every occasion, we must also use prudence in every situation.
Have hope and firm faith in God, for He will help you in everything. Act, move, believe, strive, hope, cry out to Him with all your heart, for without doubt you will see marvelous things, if you direct everything to the praise and glory of His Majesty and the good of souls.
