One of
the effects of prudence and wisdom is not only to speak well and to
say good things, but also to say them at the right time so
that they
may be well received and beneficial to the persons to whom
we speak.
Our Lord gave the example of this on several occasions,
especially
when He was speaking to the Samaritan woman and used
the opportunity
of the water she had just drawn to speak to her about
grace and to
inspire her with the desire of perfect conversion. (SV XI, 41)
