The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda describes what she was taught about the virtue of prudence and its different forms and applications, and how the Blessed Virgin Mary applied prudence throughout her life. The Blessed Virgin Mary described prudence by saying, "Let this light guide you through the midst of the darkness of human ignorance, so that you may not be disturbed or confounded by the luring passions, nor especially by the malice and snares laid in front of you by the watchful malice of your enemies, seeking to infect your understanding. Not to be endowed with all the perfections of prudence, is not culpable in a person; but to be negligent in learning the rules of prudence, after having been instructed how to attain this knowledge, is a serious fault and the cause of many mistakes and errors in the conduct of affairs. On account of this negligence the passions countermand, impede, and obstruct the dictates of prudence."
