On Feb. 8, we celebrate the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita, who was born in Sudan, sold into slavery, and entered a convent after being freed. It is also the International Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human Trafficking.
Pope Benedict XVI tells us the story of Josephine Bakhita, a Sudanese woman who made the journey from slave to saint.
