Catechism of the Catholic Church

Paragraph 520

In all of his life Jesus presents himself as our model. He is "the perfect man,"who invites us to become his disciples and follow him. In humbling himself, he has given us an example to imitate, through his prayer he draws us to pray, and by his poverty he calls us to accept freely the privation and persecutions that may come our way. (459, 359, 2607)
