St. Brendan once asked Ita what were the three works most pleasing to God, and the three works that were most displeasing to Him. Ita answered, "Three things that please God most are - true faith in God with a pure heart, a simple life with a grateful spirit, and generosity inspired by His charity. The three things that most displease God are a mouth that hates people, a heart harbouring resentments, and a confidence in earthly riches and possessions.
St. Brendan and all who were there, hearing that opinion, glorified God in His Chosen One.
