St. Josephine Bakhita
Servant of the poor, Universal Sister,
Model of Hope
Bakhita was born in Sudan in 1869 and
died in Schio (Italy) in 1947. This African
flower who knew the anguish of
kidnapping, slavery, and torture, bloomed
marvelously in Italy, in response to God’s
grace, close to the Canossian Daughters of
Charity.
Bakhita, which means “the lucky one,” is
the name given to her by her kidnappers.
Sold and resold in the markets of El Obeid
and Khartoum, she experienced the
humiliations and the sufferings of slavery,
both physical, mental and moral.
Fortunately, Bakhita encountered a good
owner, who did not use the lash when
giving orders and treated her in a loving
and cordial way.
She later celebrated the sacraments of
Christian Initiation and was given the
name, Josephine, on January 9, 1890.
Bakhita joined the religious institute of the
Daughters of Charity of Canossa on
December 8, 1896.
On May 17, 1992, Josephine Bakhita was
beatified by Pope John Paul II. She was
proclaimed Saint on October 1, in the
Jubilee Year 2000.
