Living Out Prudence, Every Day

Hi Ladies!
Week 1 of the Lenten Virtue Challenge is drawing to a close. Did you try growing in Prudence this week? What practical exercises did you use? How did it go? Of course, virtues are habits, and habits take a while to build, but we would love to hear about your initial experience with Prudence! You can comment on this blog post, or on our facebook page.

Also, I wanted to share 3 practical steps for acting prudently that I found on this website.
The three stages of a prudent act are:
1."to take counsel carefully with oneself and from others"
2. to judge correctly on the basis of the evidence at hand"
3. "to direct the rest of one's activity according to the norms determined after a prudent judgment has been made."

I love how apparent it is from these steps that the use of reason is connected with acting virtuously.

So, let's hear about Week 1....
