Pleasing or Displeasing God

Celtic saint, Ita, was once asked what were the three things that most pleased God, and the three things that most displeased Him.

She answered, "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.

The three things that most displease God are:

• a mouth that hates people,
• a heart harboring resentments,
• and confidence in wealth."

May we seek to please God in all we do.
