St. Josephine Bakhita, Feast Day and quotes

I’ve posted several times about this former Sudanese slave who ultimately became a Catholic sister in Italy. Here is the first time in 2008  St. Josephine Bakhita – saint of Darfur.

And today – February 8th, the day she died in 1947 – is her feast day. Canonized in 2000, a great Saint for this century.

I love this – too bad Stephen Hawking never read this.

— St. Josephine Bakhita
