None of this material is my original work. It comes from The Magnificat, Tuesday April 28, 2020. I am happy to pass it along, because I felt it was significant.
From St. Ita, who lived in Ireland and died, circa 570.
When (future) saint Brendan asked Ita what three things pleased God, she replied, "Three things that most please God are true faith in God with a pure heart, a simple life with a grateful spirit, and generosity inspired by charity."
When Brendan asked her what three things most displeased God, she replied, "The three things that most displease God are a mouth that hates people, a heart harboring resentments, and confidence in wealth."
St. Ita, pray for us.
