January 15th
St. Ita, Virgin (d.570)   Born Co. Waterford, Ireland

When asked what three things God especially loves, she replied, "True faith in God with a pure heart, a simple life with a religious spirit, an open hand inspired by charity."

When asked which three things God especially abhorred, she answered, "A face which scowls upon all mankind, obduracy in wrong doing, and arrogant trust in the power of money."
