Today we celebrate with the Church the memory of a wonderful woman, child of God and a truly humble saint!
We, especially us, Canossians are blessed by her life and example... blessed and humbled. It's not an easy path to imitate her but her love and humility which led her, like our Blessed Mother, to the foot of the Cross which is THE path for us... that is our Charism. So, we are grateful to God and the Church for giving us Bakhita as our special and precious saint. She is our model for us to walk the path of loving kindness and humility in the world that we live in ~ today, now and as a vision for the future.
As we celebrate this feast of St Josephine Bakhita with grateful hearts, we ask for prayers for the grace to live our Charism as she did. We who have been blessed and chosen to be Canossians, pray for the grace to walk in the path that God has gifted us with, to walk with faith, with hope and especially with forgiveness and humility as did Bakhita!
