You CAN’T Take It With You!
My dear friend and former pastor, Father Charles Mangano used to say, “if we want to follow Jesus, we are NOT to be attached to the things of this world! He would then go on to say that out of all of the funerals he has ever done he has never seen a U-Haul behind a hearse!
Do we collect things that we really do not need? Do we keep things we can’t use immediately because perhaps one day it might be useful? Do we stock up on things in anticipation of expecting the worse to come?
Making Room for God, Decluttering and the Spiritual Life by Mary Elizabeth Sperry published by Ave Maria Press, is a great book for anyone who is overwhelmed and isn’t sure how to go about making changes to simplify life.
The Distraction Of Clutter

While there’s no shortage of secular books promoting the practice, Making Room for God is the first book on organization from a Catholic perspective. Author, Mary Elizabeth Sperry talks about how you can make decluttering a prayerful, peace-filled, and soul-expanding experience.
