The next day
In the square...
— Mr. Nestor what is a rudder?
— It's a part of the ship. It is made to give the direction of the ship.
— I thought steering was driven.
— It's the wheel on the ship. The wheel as well as the steering wheel does not act alone. It is connected to a series of parts that will make the ship or car move.
Imagine the ship is the human body. If I want to get up. — He gets up. — If my muscles hadn't obeyed my brain, would I have made it?
— Not! I understand the wheel, but what about the rudder?
— If my mazes aren't normal. I'm going to pass out, right?
— Yes!
— If the rudder doesn't have the right weight. The ship turns.
— And why isn't the rudder at the front?
— The ship as well as the race cars need to be pointed at the front to go against the air and friction force. And at the back they are square and heavier to keep the vehicle in balance.
— I understood. So what James meant is that our language dominates the entire body. We have to know how to balance what we say.
— And we ate. This virtue is called temperance.
— Virtue?
— Just as there are the seven sins, there are the virtues to help us fight them.
— How awesome! Do you teach me?
— Of course! There are three theological virtues, that is, those that show our relationship with God: faith, hope and charity. If we were on a boat. Hope would be the anchor.
As long as we are with it in high, we will continue sailing. — Frank hears everything with a twinkle in his eyes. — Faith would be the engine without it running, we are adrift.
— What if the boat is sailing?
— If there's no wind...
— Drift.
— And charity is the wheel that will guide us. Charity is also known as the love between us and God.

— And what are the sins they fight? — Pastor Elijah answers:
— All. For whoever is with God, the enemy does not reach.
Good Morning! I came to see how our friend Nestor is doing.
— Better! Thank you very much.
— I want to hear about the other virtues.
— Me either!
— There are four cardinal virtues: Temperance, prudence, justice and fortress. Temperance is like the rudder. It helps to balance the ship. And with it is always chastity. Chastity would be cleanliness.
— The cleaning?
— Actually the person in charge of cleaning. He won't clean the ship all the time and he won't leave the ship dirty either.
Temperance combats the sin of gluttony and the chastity of lust, also known as filthiness.
Prudence is like the cabin of the ship. It's inside it that I'll have the information about the weather, I'll have the radio and the logbook. She wants to avoid catastrophe. And she brings with her patience and responsibility. And they will commit the sin of Wrath.
The fortress will be the structure of the ship that will support it. It brings decision and diligence with it.
— Dili what?
— Diligence is the urgency of taking action. They are the ones who will fight laziness. And finally justice, the captain of the ship.
— The captain is God!
— Do yoou know someone fairer than him?
— No. Proceed!
— Along with justice are: meekness, or sweetness; humility, or simplicity and generosity. Humility will fight pride and generosity against greed. — Frank counts on fingers 1 to 6.
— Mr. Nestor lacks a sin.
— The Envy I don't remember the virtue.
— Love only love fights Envy. Preferably by giving your life to your neighbor or to God.
— Can we study love?
— Read John!
— If the boat is the virtues, what would the sea be?
— Can I answer you tomorrow?
— Yes!
