Wood Plaque Premium - St. Zita by B. Nippert

Zita was only twelve when she was sent to be a servant for a wealthy Italian family. She worked hard and was very good and pious, but nobody in the household liked Zita. Her employers and the other servants all thought she was a goody-two shoes. Zita never complained. She clung to her faith and stayed true to herself. She offered it up to God and treated everyone with courtesy and respect, no matter how they treated her. No amount of ridicule could shake her inner peace, and her perseverance won them over. Her co-workers began to like her and were inspired to become better workers.
