“If I were to meet the slave-traders whoSt josephineb kidnapped me and even those who tortured me, I would kneel and kiss their hands, for if that did not happen, I would not be a Christian and religious today.”

                                                   -St. Josephine Bakhita

 

 

 

For Reflection:

Have I been persecuted, betrayed, or treated unjustly? What great good has God worked out of my tragedy? I pray for the eyes to see.
