St. Josephine Bakhita | February 8
The story of St. Josephine Bakhita (1869-1947) is a story that many people taken
into slavery have experienced. Born in the Darfur region of Sudan, she was kid-
napped at the age of 8 and sold into slavery many times. As she passed from own-
er to owner, she experienced the moral and physical humiliations associated with
slavery. It was only at the age of 13 that her suffering was alleviated after she was
bought for the Italian Consul in Sudan. It was here that she was fortunate to re-
ceive kindness, respect, and peace from her new master.
She was later handed over to the Canossian Sisters when she made the case that
slavery had been outlawed in Italy for years. She was baptized and confirmed in
the Catholic Church in 1890, where she took the name Josephine. She later en-
tered the Institute of St. Magdalene of Canossa in 1893 and made her profession
three years later.
St. Josephine Bakhita’s next 50 years were spent serving people through cooking,
sewing, embroidery, and housekeeping. She was a source of encouragement and
her constant smile won people’s hearts, as did her humility and simplicity. Today
she is known as the patron saint of victims of modern slavery and human traffick-
ing. St. Josephine Bakhita, pray for us!

THE GIFT OF THE MISSION
Early on in my work in parish ministry, I
had to deal with a tough human re-
sources situation, letting some staff
members go and stepping into a role that
demanded more of my time and energy.
January Blessings
In moments like this, stewardship can Welcome New Parishioners
feel burdensome. Things take a turn we
didn’t expect, perhaps in spite of our best Alexander & Rosie Galera
efforts. Maybe more is asked of us than Skipper & Sally Cunningham
we want or feel prepared to give.
Harold & Mary Weil
But that’s when we need to remember Eric & Julia Schopen and Family
that stewardship isn’t a job that we apply
for. It’s a gift bestowed directly from God,
the Creator of all, and that can be scary Newly Baptized
all on its own, if we are preoccupied with
our own unworthiness. What we might Waylon Michael Schabow
want to do is fall on our knees like Simon
Peter and announce, “Depart from me,
Lord — I am sinful.” Those Buried from Our Church;
May They Rest in Peace
But what if we stop looking in the mirror
and look instead to God? Stephen Link
All those years ago, when I was faced
Nancy Thielsen
with that ministerial challenge, I asked Tadeusz Orlos
my wife to join me. What started as a
tough situation turned into a decade of
shared ministry with her — an experience
I wouldn’t trade for anything. It was a
burden that became a gift.
We must remember that God knows
what He is about. In His mercy, He gives
us what we need as everyday stewards.
When God calls out, “Whom shall we
send?” we — in all our sinfulness — are
allowed to cry out “Send me, Lord!” And
He sends us out and behold — our nets
tear with the bounty we harvest in His
name.
