The Lord teaches us about the virtue of prudence today. We need to learn this well especially in those who are government officials or our politicians who have defrauded the people of their hard-earned money. They have not extended the services they were supposed to perform by virtue of their office. The Filipinos are clamoring louder and louder for accountability. Part of accountability is for the culprits to own up to their misdeeds, restore what they stole, and serve a penalty. We need to think carefully to avoid committing a crime, and if we do take part in criminal activities, we need to consider how to set things right. This is prudence. And prudence includes putting into practice what has been decided.
