Messy Room? TRY THIS... - Fr. Mark Goring, CC

[@outoforbit00]

Very sweet and thoughtful of you to share the little everyday things. Thank Fr Mark.

[@uteme]

When I was decluttering 'big time' I took digital pictures of unused & stored-out-of-sight sentimental items. I also prayed over all items before sharing with a charitable group...that the next 'steward of my stuff' will be blessed & have a happy life. Doing these 2 things made & still makes letting go a breeze! ♡

[@TheGoodkarm]

Brilliant!

[@coG139]

Such a beautiful act! 🥰 Thank you for sharing! 🤗

[@theresahall1490]

Wow! Thank u for saying a prayer on items, great ! I now will do the same. God Bless

[@annmariebudyn]

Thank you so much, I'm clearing out as we speak, what a fantastic idea. I'll do this now. God bless you. ❤

[@Leo-lj6vs]

I was just looking at my room and trying to gather courage to clean up and then I saw this video... Thank you Lord and thank you father!

[@ivorybow]

I instantly recognized the beloved St. Kolbe behind you. I turn to him for prayers often.

[@seaglasssparkles6910]

I wondered who that was. Thanks for sharing.

[@anamariasifuentez3028]

First you made a video about evening laziness and now about messy rooms. Father, it’s like you’re reading my soul and you know I need a little kick. God bless you

[@seaglasssparkles6910]

😂 So true.

[@erikamayers6148]

Good idea.....thank you

[@valwhelan3533]

Decluttering is good - however actually getting rid of stuff (rather than just putting it out of sight somewhere) is absolutely freeing.

[@masaklevel0117]

Happened to me just now. I really dont have the energy to clean my room. But i know i need to clean my room because its really messy and it makes me feel uncomfortable like i feel like i am ignoring my responsibility. I however get up, made the sign of the cross and then pray. God, i am really tired and i feel like i dont want to clean my room but i know i have to and i must. Therefore i pray so that you give me the strength i need and i offer up this duty to the glory of your name. In jesus christ i pray, amen. And now, my room is cleaned. I believe that i can bear all hardship in god. Haleluyah.

[@christinebarillas4207]

After writing all this your room could already be clean. Lol

[@janewaring8547]

I just tried it Father! It works! I did not want to clean up my room- no energy- did not want to. But followed your advice, and I got it cleaned up !! So happy! I went into the third minute without realizing it- ha Thank you so so much Father Mark!

[@StitchinGranny]

I have been slowly decluttering things for the last year. I set the timer for 30 minutes and then have a 30 minute knit or crochet break. Many times I work longer. It’s just getting started that takes so long! Prayer definitely helps!💗🙏

[@margaretelaidlaw6668]

I like the reward part. I too crochet and this will help break up the tasks between work and play and then add a prayer for Thanksgiving. 🙏

[@Oudeis000]

Procrastination has been one of my worst habits all my life, and it often leads me to the mortal sin of sloth. I have experienced so many times how the biggest battle in a difficult task often is just taking the first step. I shall try to keep your admonition in my mind as I work to overcome my vice of procrastination and sloth. Bless you, Father Goring, for your sage advice!

[@susanelmore9]

You're not alone, I battle the same! This was great though!

[@jojackson1573]

Wow it's quite a thought ...yes it's a mortal sin , especially if we neglect prayer .. a good take away!!!

[@david248w6]

Yup I'm very guilty of it too....Lord have Mercy!

[@carolineszabo1797]

Oh my gosh, this is me for sure, nobody see the room but me. I asked and prayed help me to clean up the corner9 bottom closet. Yes, I look at it then leave to go back to my rocking chair and utube. My evening prayer is asking Jesus to help me become motivated but I love cooking so this makes me happy ,I go back to kitchen and then another day continueb to close the closet door. O,k, I will try again 2 minutes it is hard when nobody cares but me😢Summer is over and those beautiful items must wait fir a new spring day. The problem is I do the same waiting game with friends "tomorrow I will go visit" sadly one passed away recently. See, waiting is not good.

Try saying: Jesus I am doing this for YOU! and ask Mother Mary to help; I am always impressed with asking Mother Mary to help, makes things go so much better than they were before asking Her!!! especially with forgiveness problems! She is our prime example of forgiveness as Jesus gave those crucifying Him to Her as He was dying!!!

Theodore Roosevelt once said, "The first test of a balanced society is how it treats its children. If we cannot form a balanced society by first teaching children to keep their rooms in order, then we cannot form a balanced society at all." This quote suggests that how a society treats and educates its children is a key indicator of its health and balance. By teaching children the values ​​of cleanliness, organization, and responsibility, such as keeping their rooms in order, a society can lay the foundation for a harmonious and well-balanced society. The Bible says, (Prov. 22:6) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

"I don't feel like cleaning my room" I don't know why, but that sounds so cute 😂🥲🩷 I know what you mean though, I've learned you can invite God into everything, before I do chores I always ask Him for energy. It really does work 🙏🕊✝️❤️

Me too. I am so fatigued, I have shortness of breath from pulmonary emboli and I need a left total knee replacement that has to wait because of the pulmonary emboli. And i have a bad back so sonetimes i wear both a back brace and a knee brace. But my husband has dementia and I take care of him and do the cleaning, shopping, driving to doctors, cooking, vacuuming, laundry. I always tell God-- well I know that was you because I sure didn't do it in my own strength. And I ask Him for the will and ability to do what I have to do because-- sometimes I feel like -- I just can't. But he always gives me the strength.

Hey Fr Mark. A bit off topic. In northern Maine yesterday in squa pan lake, sometimes spelled scopan lake my wife and I found live jellyfish. I showed pics and video ( low quality due to bright sun) to my neighbor who runs a bushcraft and survival school. He said he’s never seen them before. So next time you’re near the lake take a look.

[@belmasalazar741]

I have a rule father mark. If I get something out wheather I utilize it or not it's my duty to imidely return it to its designated position or destined position let's say a laundry basket. If I use a plate I imidely wash it after use and put it away where it belongs. I taught my children to do the same when they were little. They grew up to be tidy❤

I admire and have recently started following in Fr Mark's simplicity footsteps. However I have been having a hard time this past week decluttering my room especially since admittedly I cling to many books. I have been making an honest effort. If anyone has some further anecdotes to help in this process please do let me know!

[@barbarachisolm145]

I have a hard time with clinging to watch too many books also. I gathered up a box of some that I thought others may really enjoy, and donated them to our library for their semiannual book sale. It felt good and helped the library too..😊.

[@muchtested]

Maybe if you download the books in electronic form so you can refer to them again if necessary, you will feel better letting the physical ones go.
