Meaning of Prudence

Prudence is the ability to look at a concrete situation and know what

ought to be done. It is the ability to make right judgments. Prudence gives
us the knowledge of what must be done, when it must be done, and how it
must be done..

How Prudence Works

Prudence is the art of taking moral principles and applying them to

concrete situations. Prudence therefore demands two aspects:

 Firstly, knowing the principles, that is, knowing what the goods of human nature
are, and that we must work towards them and never against them.
Consequently, it is never prudent, regardless of the situation, to act against the
moral principles. There is no such thing as a prudent abortion, because it always
violates the good of innocent human life. There is no such thing as prudent
contraception, because it always goes against the good of human life and against
the good of the marital relationship. There is no such thing as prudent
pornography, because it goes against the good of human relationships.

 Secondly, knowing how to apply the principles to the concrete situation. The first
part is knowing the goals; the second part is knowing how to choose the means
for obtaining the goal. In the words of St. Thomas Aquinas: "The prudent man
considers things afar off, insofar as they tend to be a help or a hindrance to that
which has to be done at the present time. Hence it is clear that those things
which prudence considers stand in relation to the end." With prudence, we look
at every decision in light of the ultimate goal, that is, goodness and happiness.
