The Philosopher says (Ethic. v, 1) that justice is about operations.
The true answer to this question may be gathered from a twofold source. First from the subject of justice, i.e. from the will, whose movements or acts are not passions, as stated above (I-II, 22, 3; I-II, 59, 4), for it is only the sensitive appetite whose movements are called passions. Hence justice is not about the passions, as are temperance and fortitude, which are in the irascible and concupiscible parts. Secondly, on the part of the matter, because justice is about man's relations with another, and we are not directed immediately to another by the internal passions. Therefore justice is not about the passions.

Praised be Jesus Christ! Fellow Knights of the Immaculate Queen. Let us all beg of St. Mary the virtue of justice. Let us start by showing our friends, family, and superiors the love and respect that they deserve. We should make it a point to be at work on time, and to put in an honest days work for our employer. We should in charity correct those God has given us care over when they are in need of correction, and let us give God His due by setting time aside for prayer each day. Let us remember to thank Him for all that we have been given.
Mary, Queen of All Hearts, take possession of the hearts of all men!
