Quote/s of the Day – 8 February
“When a person loves another dearly,
he desires strongly to be close to the other:
therefore, why be afraid to die?”
“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.”
~~~ Saint Josephine Bakhita
“Rejoice, all of Africa!
Bakhita has come back to you:
the daughter of the Sudan,
sold into slavery as a living piece of merchandise
and yet still free:
free with the freedom of the saints.”
~~~ St Pope John Paul II
