All quotes by Josephine Bakhita:
O Lord, if I could fly to my people and tell them of your goodness at the top of my voice, oh how many souls would be won!
The Lord has loved me so much: we must love everyone...we must be compassionate!
If I were to meet the slave-traders who kidnapped me and even those who tortured me, I would kneel and kiss their hands, for if that did not happen, I would not be a Christian and Religious today... The Lord has loved me so much: we must love everyone... we must be compassionate!
Seeing the sun, the moon and the stars, I said to myself, 'Who could be the Master of these beautiful things?' I felt a great desire to see him, to know him and to pay him homage.
