Living in Trying Times: How to Suffer Well: Prudence, Fortitude & Temperance (3/5) ~ Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

In this conference, we dive into the cardinal virtue of prudence and its allied sub-virtues—synesis and gnome—and why they matter when “the usual rules” break down. We also unpack fortitude (taking blows and enduring long trials) and temperance (mastering bodily pleasure) so we can love God above all things, protect our families, and act rightly—especially amid confusion, crisis, or chastisement. You’ll learn: What prudence really is (not just “knowing,” but doing the right thing) Synesis: knowing when common moral norms apply Gnome: judging by higher principles (natural law & divine positive law) when ordinary applications don’t fit When obedience is owed—and when it is not How to build fortitude: accept blows & suffer long without quitting Daily habits of penance, fasting, & mortification that strengthen the will Perfect detachment so charity doesn’t grow cold 00:00 Opening Prayer 00:30 Why these virtues matter now 01:43 What prudence is (right reason in action) 02:28 Synesis: when common law applies 05:02 Obedience & its limits (salvation of souls) 09:01 When ordinary principles shift 09:44 Gnome: judging by higher law 14:09 Virtue first, emotions second 16:00 Natural law vs. ecclesiastical law; salus animarum 18:43 Duties of proximity (family first) 23:06 Keep studying: know the principles 24:00 Fortitude: taking blows & going long 31:03 Accept passive sufferings + daily discipline 32:06 Penance, fasting, mortification (how to build up) 36:54 Spiritual preparedness for chastisement 36:59 Temperance: moderating pleasure 40:08 Detachment & charity (St. Thérèse example) 44:12 Final encouragement & blessing Fr.
