Why does Jesus tell the apostles to "travel light" with little or no provision at all?

1. Divine providence – is not about not taking care of your self and be miserable for the rest of your life, this is more of “whole hearted trust in the Lord”. Come to me all you who are weary and I will give you rest. St. Augustine – My heart is restless until it rests in thee. The Lord wants his disciples to be dependent on him and not on themselves.
2. "Poverty of spirit" frees us from greed and preoccupation with possessions and makes ample room for God's provision. Distinguishing what you need and what you want. Consumerism speaks of what we want – injustice for others who don’t even have what they need.

How’s your baggage? Do you have excess spiritual baggage? Imagine the confessional as a trash bin of excess spiritual baggages.
