Remember, that what we see is God in the people we encounter every second, minute, hour
and day in waiting. Our spirituality defines our maturity on how we respond to the waiting. Fr. Ed said, Religious life has been impeded by the secularism and consumerism. A Religious who is not happy is not holy. Then, he mentioned about CLUTTER – disordered things that impede movement or reduce effectiveness. Here are the kinds of clutter: 1. Aspirational clutter – what we try to APPEAR – so we buy it, like beauty cosmetics. 2. Clutter without storage 3. Trash clutter - garbage of negatives: thoughts, feelings and emotions. 4. Bargain clutter – procrastinate learnings 5. Abundance clutter – accumulations of things 6. Sentimental clutter - attachments to people, position, work, things etc.
“If Christ is everything. What else would you still ask?” St. Theresa of Avilla
