When we have God, even a simple life becomes a blessed life.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men. – Luke 2, WEBBE
Whenever we get bored or doubt the value of a simple life, let’s remember Mary’s hidden and simple but truly blessed and meaningful life.
All that mattered was that she had Jesus for Jesus is everything.
We too, in whatever state of life we may be can live simple yet blessed lives because we too, can have Jesus.
When I picture the Holy Family, the thought that does me most good is— the simplicity of their home-life. Our Lady and St. Joseph were well aware that Jesus was God, while at the same time great wonders were hidden from them, and— like us— they lived by faith. – St. Therese of Lisieux
