St. Thomas Aquinas says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Here is how people need to conduct themselves in order to progress in the spiritual life. Always embrace prudence in thought, word and deed. Prudence takes into account the effects or consequences of free will choices upon others. Prudence is never rash or impulsive. It is not unshakable in its own opinions but carefully considers the opinions of others. Prudence is especially dependent upon Holy Love and Holy Humility as its fuel.”

“Bad decisions which cause division, conflicts or even wars are always based upon imprudence.”
