| BkIV:7.III.2 | Prudence makes you more reflective now, unwilling to rush where no angel of God would dare go. Prudence makes you patient; and from that patience arises the wisdom of love, which trusts in God fully whether to act or not, to fly or not, to sing or not, to laugh or not. In short, now you can begin to be truly free. We say “now,” for this was not previously possible. Without due prudence and holy patience, flying would have been crazy. Enough tears have already been shed because of the imprudence of those who walk the world. |
