Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Prudence, the virtue that makes you good at making decisions, like all the cardinal virtues of justice,

courage and temperance, it takes prayer and practice.

But there are a few things that really wreck our process of making

good decisions. So what are some key things to keep in mind as we strive to get better at decision-making?

First, don't rethink a choice when you're in the process of carrying it out.

Think about it before you begin it and then just do it.

Take your time and deliberation, but once you've reached a decision, act quickly and decisively.

Put your hand to the plow and don't look back.

Now obviously there may be times when you need to reassess, but since prudence is based on information and relevant information,

reassessment probably shouldn't happen unless there is new relevant

information that surfaces after the decision has been reached. And as a rule of thumb the realization that something is hard or that

you're not enjoying it as much as you thought you would doesn't count as new relevant information because sometimes doing the right

thing is hard or not very enjoyable at least at first. And since commitment is the core of virtue, you definitely don't want to get

into the habit of not following through on your commitments just because something is hard or not enjoyable.

Our Father who Art in Heaven, hallow would be your name,

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into

temptation but deliver us from evil a man. Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is

with thee blessed art thou among women blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God,
