Daniel Esparza on Getting organized: A reflection of God's Creation

"Just as God created the universe with order and purpose (Genesis 1, 3-10), our own pursuit of order can easily become a spiritual task - if done with intention. Numerous saints in the Catholic tradition frequently emphasize the importance of order in their writings - Thomas Aquinas, John of the Cross, Teresa de Ávila. Somewhat like IKEA, whose very foundation rests on creating functional and accessible organization, we might consider that there is spiritual significance in bringing order to our physical world."

In a recent commentary, writer/scholar Daniel Esparza reflected on how creating and maintaining order is "a testament to our respect for the gifts of time, abundance, and the physical world entrusted to us by God."
