Jesus Christ is the Model of Simplicity

"God our Father and protector, without you nothing is holy, nothing has value. Guide us to everlasting life by helping us to use wisely the blessings you have given to the world…" (Mass Prayer on the 17^th Sunday in Ordinary Time)

God our Father is our reliable protector. His loving and powerful providence arranges everything for us with an eye to maximum protection of all our interests. We pray confidently to our Father to teach us the wise use of all that He has blessed the world with. Not everything in the world is good for us.

Jesus Christ is the model of how to use the goods of this world. He is our model of simplicity.
