St. Josephine Bakhita – Bridge Building Images
Small Plaque (41/2 ” x 61/4″)
Born in Sudan, Bakhita endured the anguish of kidnapping and slavery early in life. In agony, she recalled the dreadful days of her slavery and begged her nurse, “Please, loosen the chains … they are heavy!” Freed at last from all pain, this woman of immense faith and forgiveness, breathed her last in the company of her beloved Canossian sisters saying, “Our Lady! Our Lady!”
