“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these”

Commentary: “[…]from the brightness of the color to be that of the heavenly angels; who are truly the flowers of the other world[…] The king knows wherewithal he shall support and clothe his own family. Therefore it follows, But seek you first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.”
- St. Ambrose of Milan

God takes care of even the wayside flowers how much more will he care for us, His children. This passage in Luke is Christ’s promise to look after us so that we don’t worry about looking after ourselves, He explains that even all of Solomon’s riches and Glory are nothing compared to how He makes sure the flower is cared for, emphasizing how much more His children will be attended to!
