Ep32. Right Response to Reality — The Virtue of Prudence

Written By Jon Marc & Teresa Grodi

In this episode of Elevate Ordinary, JonMarc and Teresa discuss the first of the four Cardinal Virtues, the virtue that consists of going through life awake and intentional, the virtue of being a person of reality rather than fantasy, the virtue that helps you to be an actor rather than merely a reactor — the virtue without which, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, no other moral virtue is even possible. Have you guessed it yet? We’re talking about PRUDENCE this week. So sit back, wake up, and let’s get REAL.
