    One of the things I'm most ashamed of are the times when I've complained against God because of the suffering I've experienced. I don't know for sure, but I think that complaints of that nature are displeasing to God and/or put a distance between us and Him.

    St. Ignatius of Loyola believed that ingratitude was displeasing to God in a particular way:

    "It seems to me, in light of the divine Goodness, though others may think differently, that ingratitude is one of the things most worthy of detestation before our Creator and Lord, and before all creatures capable of his divine and everlasting glory, out of all the evils and sins which can be imagined. For it is a failure to recognize the good things, the graces, the gifts received. As such, it is the cause, beginning, and origin of all evils and sins. On the contrary, recognition and gratitude for the good things and gifts received is greatly loved and esteemed both in heaven and on earth."

    -St. Ignatius in a letter to Simon Rodrigues, March of 1542.

    Once again you are prophetic, and this is the one thing I needed to read today. Thanks Terry.
