The cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—provide a solid foundation for professional work and everything else God has called a person to. They insulate Catholic professionals from burnout by helping to keep work ordered so that it remains a source of sanctification, deep joy, and serviceability in the kingdom of God. The cardinal virtues provide a road map that keeps one honest and progressing and provide clear targets to strive toward and measure oneself by.
