Ita Of Killeedy
St Ita – Deirdre or Dorothy (ca 480-570) was born in Waterford, Ireland. Against her father’s wishes, she refused to marry. Instead, she set up her own community of nuns who devoted their lives to the education of the young and care of the poor, sick and elderly.
She is often referred to as, “The Foster Mother of Irish Saints” because of the esteem with which she was held by the local people and her care for St Brendan whom she often met.
St Ita told St Brendan that the three most pleasing acts towards God were: one’s faith, leading a simple spiritual life and making generous acts of charity. In contrast, she said, the three most destructive acts were: a mouthful of hate, a heart full of resentment and worship of material goods.

There's a game life plays makes you think you're everything they ever said you were Like to take some time Clear away everything I planned Was it life I betrayed for the shape that I'm in It's not hard to fail it's not easy to win did I drink too much could I disappear and there's nothing that's left but wasted years There's nothing left but wasted years If I could change my life Be a simple kind of man try to do the best I can if I could see the signs I'd derail every path I could now I'm about to die won't you clear away from me give me strength to fly away
