February 8th is also the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita, who was kidnapped and enslaved as a child. She ultimately was sold to an Italian diplomat and taken to Italy, where she bravely asserted her freedom with the help of the Cannossian Sisters of Venice. Through her faith, St. Bakhita realized the promise of liberty inherent in the human spirit.
