I love Josephine Bakhita’s story! What a grace for her to see God’s hand and presence even through the extremely hard trials of her life. One typo I found: “Not long after, she appeared to be having. “Our Lady, our Lady,” she exclaimed. They were her last words.”
I love her wisdom in thanking her captors and torturers. Since we can’t change the past, this perspective is the only path to peace. I love how this disposition is foreshadowed in her embracing the symbol of the Cross.
"I love how this disposition is foreshadowed in her embracing the symbol of the Cross." Excellent point. I hadn't thought of connecting it in that way.

Thanks for picking up that typo!
