Prudence – guides one to do the right thing, at the right time, and in the right way. It directs all other cardinal virtues: justice, temperance, and courage. It is synonymous with wisdom. It is the virtue that allows us to put our true priorities in action (i.e. God, others, self).
Justice – the habit and disposition to give others what is rightly theirs (charity is giving others what is rightfully our own). The most important area of justice is known as the virtue of religion – giving that which is owed to God. Therefore going to Mass on Sundays is a matter of Justice. Work is another area where we practice the virtue of Justice. Family is another area that is governed by the virtue of Justice. Justice demands that I give mercy to others.
