Justice:
It is the moderation between selfishness and selflessness; treating all people equally to oneself and to each other. The just man renders to each and all what is due to them, which are their moral and legal rights to do, possess, or exact something. This is equal insofar as each one receives what he is entitled to, but may be unequal insofar as different people may have different rights: two children have different rights from a certain adult if that adult is the parent of one of them and not of the other.

Fortitude:(known as Matilda)
Or Strength, sometimes also called Courage. This virtue is the ability to resist fear in face of physical pain, hardship, and threat of death -- "physical courage" -- or to resist fear in the face of shame, scandal, and discouragement -- "moral courage."

Prudence:
The word comes from Old French prudence (13th century), from Latin prudentia "foresight, sagacity," contraction of providentia "foresight". It is often associated with Wisdom, Insight, and Knowledge. In this case, the virtue is the ability to judge between virtuous and vicious actions, not only in a general sense, but with regard to appropriate actions at a given time and place. Although prudence itself does not perform any actions, and is concerned solely with knowledge, all virtues had to be regulated by it. Distinguishing when acts are courageous, as opposed to reckless or cowardly, for instance, was an act of prudence

Temperance:
The virtues of abstinence, chastity, and modesty are considered sub-classes of the virtue of temperance, as it governs the practice of eating and drinking, practice of sexual intercourse, and the restraint of vanity.

Love or Charity:
An unlimited loving-kindness towards all others. Love, in this sense of an unlimited loving-kindness towards all others, is held to be the ultimate perfection of the human spirit, because it is said to both glorify and reflect the nature of God.

Faith:
A physical action, based upon a mental belief and sustained with confidence. Belief, in this context is non-synonymous with faith because, belief primarily conveys the mental action, thought of confidence, trust, and/or firm persuasion, not the physical act.

Hope:
Hope being a combination of the desire for something and expectation of receiving it, the virtue is hoping for Divine union and so eternal happiness.
