An Incredible Life
Today is the feast of St. Josephine Bakhita, patron saint of Sudan and human trafficking. On this day, we celebrate the brave and perseverant woman who loved God immensely.
St. Josephine Bakhita, Pray for Us!
Josephine’s body was mutilated by those who enslaved her, but they could not touch her spirit. Her Baptism set her on an eventual path toward asserting her civic freedom and then service to God’s people as a Canossian Sister.
She worked under many “masters” but was finally happy to address God as “master” and carry out everything that she believed to be God’s will for her.
