For someone who is an African like myself i feel very proud and honoured.Despite all her hardships, she still persevered in faith and was even thankful to her kidnappers who made her go through all what she went through.I think we all should try and copy her example of having a forgiving heart.I pray that the sufferings her country is currently going through should come to an end. St. Josephine Bakhita, Pray for us.
