St. Josephine Bakhita
A Profile of Her Life and Her Work.
    Here are three reflection questions based on the documents / sermon above:
  • What past hurts or injustices am I holding onto, and how is God calling me to respond with forgiveness and love?
  • How can I honor my African heritage and the faith of my ancestors by choosing mercy and reconciliation in my daily life?
  • Like St. Josephine Bakhita, how can I use my personal testimony to inspire others to walk in the freedom of Christ's love?
