Pope John Paul I, "Illustrissimi"
Prudence. Stages that should be considered.
Deliberation. Seeking the means that lead to eh end. It is made on the basis of reflection, of advice that has been asked for, of careful examination.
Decision. After examining the various possible methods, make up your mind to use one of them. Prudence is not an everlasting see-saw, suspending everything and tearing the mind apart with uncertainty; nor is it waiting in order to decide for the best.
Execution. The most important of the three: prudence linked with strength, prevents discouragement in the face of difficulties and impediments. This is the time when a man is shown to be a leader and guide.
