Santa Bakhita, nacida en Sudán, siendo aún niña, fue raptada y vendida en diversos mercados africanos de esclavos, sufriendo dura cautividad. Al obtener la libertad, abrazó la fe cristiana e ingresó en el Instituto de Hijas de la Caridad y pasó el resto de su vida en Italia, entregada a Cristo a quien conoció y amó desde el primer momento, sabiendo que los consuelos durante su dura vida siempre fueron él.Con tu ayuda podremos continuar con este proyecto: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=GZMHJDMXG8L22&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabzPiBLoj2NefLbiwGBbXS1Ckn9xG8o9stwEGRXwQnsnoRllvac_CUJ_cU_aem_oPr5pU3Gmbo2qA3t6j-zkg
Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 328The Saint of the day is Saint Josephine BakhitaSaint Josephine Bakhita's Story For many years, Josephine Bakhita was a slave but her spirit was always free and eventually that spirit prevailed. Born in Olgossa in the Darfur region of southern Sudan, Josephine was kidnapped at the age of 7, sold into slavery and given the name Bakhita, which means fortunate. She was resold several times, finally in 1883 to Callisto Legnani, Italian consul in Khartoum, Sudan. Two years later, he took Josephine to Italy and gave her to his friend Augusto Michieli. Bakhita became babysitter to Mimmina Michieli, whom she accompanied to Venice's Institute of the Catechumens, run by the Canossian Sisters. While Mimmina was being instructed, Josephine felt drawn to the Catholic Church. She was baptized and confirmed in 1890, taking the name Josephine. When the Michielis returned from Africa and wanted to take Mimmina and Josephine back with them, the future saint refused to go. During the ensuing court case, the Canossian Sisters and the patriarch of Venice intervened on Josephine's behalf. The judge concluded that since slavery was illegal in Italy, she had actually been free since 1885. Josephine entered the Institute of St. Magdalene of Canossa in 1893 and made her profession three years later. In 1902, she was transferred to the city of Schio (northeast of Verona), where she assisted her religious community through cooking, sewing, embroidery, and welcoming visitors at the door. She soon became well loved by the children attending the sisters' school and the local citizens. She once said, “Be good, love the Lord, pray for those who do not know Him. What a great grace it is to know God!” The first steps toward her beatification began in 1959. She was beatified in 1992 and canonized eight years later. Reflection Josephine's body was mutilated by those who enslaved her, but they could not touch her spirit. Her Baptism set her on an eventual path toward asserting her civic freedom and then service to God's people as a Canossian Sister. She who worked under many “masters” was finally happy to address God as “master” and carry out everything that she believed to be God's will for her. Learn more about Saint Josephine Bakhita!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7755PRINCIPESSA, SCHIAVA E INFINE SUORA di Rino CammilleriOggi parliamo di una suora africana, negra ed ex schiava. No, non si tratta di Giuseppina Bakhita, che è già canonizzata. Mi riferisco a Teresa Chikaba, che non era sudanese come Bakhita, ma veniva dall'Africa subsahariana, quella che ai suoi tempi veniva chiamata Africa nera. Teresa Chikaba è in attesa di beatificazione, e sarebbe anche l'ora, dati i molti miracoli testimoniati per sua intercessione. Ma andiamo con ordine. Non sappiamo se avesse altri nomi oltre a Chikaba; in base ai suoi racconti sappiamo che era nata in Guinea nel 1676 e che era una principessa. Ora, il termine principessa ci fa subito pensare alle case reali europee, col loro fasto e le trine e le parrucche incipriate. Quanto fosse esteso il "regno" di suo padre non è dato conoscere, ma è probabile che quest'ultimo non fosse altro che uno dei tanti capitribù. Chi comandava davvero da quelle parti erano i portoghesi, che avevano fatto della Guinea, insieme ai confinanti Angola e Mozambico, una loro colonia fin dal secolo precedente. Sì, perché, dopo che il rullo islamico aveva spazzato via l'Africa romana e cristiana, il continente aveva visto secoli di guerre inter-tribali per procurarsi schiavi da vendere agli arabi. Fino a quando i navigatori portoghesi nel XV secolo non inaugurarono il ritorno dei missionari al seguito dei coloni.FUTURA REGINADietro esploratori e poi coloni spagnoli, francesi e, via via, olandesi belgi, inglesi, tedeschi e infine italiani, la parola Vangelo era rientrata in Africa, con i suoi successi più o meno limitati e i suoi, ovviamente, martiri. Per questo è altresì probabile che la famiglia di Chikaba, i suoi genitori e i fratelli fossero venuti in contatto con i missionari cattolici, dato che questi sempre seguivano la fondazione di una colonia da parte di una potenza cattolica. Lei stessa narrò che, una volta, dovendo seguire la sua famiglia nel prescritto pellegrinaggio all'idolo che i nativi chiamavano Lucero, mentre eseguiva la prostrazione rituale sentì una sorta di vuoto dentro, un senso di insoddisfazione infinita, una delusione cocente. Perché? Qualunque cosa fosse quella sensazione inaudita e insopportabile, fu forse l'inizio della sua conversione. In ogni caso, il risultato fu per lei un desiderio di imitazione dei missionari cristiani, nel senso che da allora prese a occuparsi dei malati, dei bambini, dei bisognosi con un trasporto che finì col procurarle la stima degli altri indigeni. Tanto da allarmare i suoi fratelli. Infatti, questi temevano che, quando fossero morti i loro genitori, il popolo avrebbe riversato il suo favore su Chikaba, eleggendo lei come regina e defraudando le aspettative dei maschi della famiglia sul trono. Chikaba dovette fare i salti mortali per rassicurarli: non aveva alcuna mira politica, anche se non sapeva bene nemmeno lei che cosa volesse nella vita. In ogni caso, ci pensarono gli eventi a decidere per lei.RAPITA DAGLI SPAGNOLIUn brutto giorno un raid di razziatori spagnoli rapì lei e altri nativi per venderli come schiavi. Non avrebbe rivisto mai più la sua terra e la sua famiglia. Caricata con gli altri schiavi su una nave, fu portata in Spagna. Durante il tragitto i trafficanti appresero che si trattava di una principessa e cominciarono a trattarla bene. Oh, non per riguardo al rango, ma perché da lei si poteva cavare un miglior prezzo. Infatti, venne acquistata dai duchi di Mancera, che la portarono nel loro palazzo di Madrid. La differenza tra gli schiavi domestici nei luoghi cattolici e in quelli protestanti stava in questo: i primi erano considerati dei paggi e praticamente adottati, entravano cioè a far parte della famiglia, come si può vedere in molti dipinti dell'epoca. Gli spagnoli non tenevano dunque schiavi? Sì, ma si trattava quasi sempre di saraceni catturati e messi ai remi o adibiti ai lavori più pesanti, in attesa di poterli scambiare con gli schiavi cristiani in mano ai barbareschi o ai turchi. Chikaba poté dunque per l prima volta in vita sua indossare dei veri abiti e nutrirsi con una vera cucina, dormire in un vero letto e avere una o più stanze tutte per sé. Volentierissimo accolse il Battesimo, per il quale ebbe gli stessi duchi come padrini. Si accorse anche di aver trovato quel che sempre aveva cercato, che il cristianesimo riempiva totalmente quel vuoto che le si era impresso dolorosamente dentro da quando era andata ad adorare Lucero. E tanto sul serio prese il suo Battesimo che, compiuti i ventiquattro anni, espresse il desiderio di farsi suora. Si tenga presente che la sua educazione, i suoi modi e la famiglia adottiva le avrebbero consentito un buon matrimonio. Gli spagnoli non erano razzisti: Darwin era inglese e di là da venire. Forse che il padre di san Martino de Porres non era un gentiluomo spagnolo (e la madre una africana?)? Forse che molti conquistadores non si erano sposati con donne incas e azteche? Forse che il grande scrittore Garcilaso de la Vega non era di madre inca? E poi una buona dote non avrebbe mancato di attirare gli hidalgos iberici.GLI ANNI IN CONVENTONo, la vocazione di Chikaba era sincera e totale. Solo che c'era un problema. Nessun convento la accettava. Sì, c'entrava proprio il colore della sua pelle. Non c'erano precedenti di suore africane in Spagna, e una suora negra avrebbe finito col trasformare il convento in cui fosse ospitata in un'attrazione per i curiosi, con nocumento della necessaria clausura, una clausura che - va detto - a quel tempo era piuttosto larga e certe visite altolocate non si potevano rifiutare. Solo nel 1708, convinto dalla schiettezza della sua vocazione, l'Arcivescovo di Salamanca ordinò alle suore domenicane del Terz'ordine di Santa Maria Maddalena di accoglierla come conversa. Finalmente, Chikaba poté prendere il velo e il nome religioso di Teresa. Malgrado la sua estrazione nobile, si adattò facilmente ai lavori domestici ai quali fu adibita. Ci vollero ancora degli anni prima che un altro Vescovo decidesse di ammetterla ai voti. E finalmente fu suora domenicana. I quarant'anni di vita che le restavano li trascorse tutti lì, a Salamanca, nel convento dove aveva spazzato e lavato i pavimenti. Morì in odore di santità il 6 dicembre 1748. Il suo corpo riposa nel monastero che a Salamanca chiamano delle Duenas. Molti miracoli sono attribuiti a questa principessa africana, schiava, adottata dal duca di Mancera, suora domenicana. I progressi del suo processo canonico? Mistero. Sotto papa Bergoglio tutti i lavori della Congregazione apposita sono stati segretati, chissà perché.

Una Sierva de Dios Josefina BakitaEl evangelio hoy nos presenta con la valiente y humilde FE de una mujer pidiendo a que Jesús sanara su hija. Parece que Jesús quería probar la validez de su fe porque cuando habla de los que merecen la comida Entonces ella, sin tomar nada de ofensa sino le dice: le dice:"Sí, Señor; pero también es cierto que los perritos, debajo de la mesa, comen las migajas que tiran los niños". ……Hoy celebramos la fiesta de otra valiente y humilde mujer San Josefina Bakhita vivía en el siglo antepasado en la parte de África que se llama Sudan. Como niña Josefina fue capturada y esclavizada por muchos años, golpeada, ultrajada y tratada con Dureza y desprecio. Mas tarde ella fue vendida a un hombre, un consul de Italia que vivía con su familia en el Sudán. Hoy es el Día Internacional de Oración y Consciencia de la Maldad del Trafico y Opresión de personas que sigue hoy en día. Por eso les digo más sobre la vida de Josefina. Bakhita fue su nombre verdadero. Por el trauma de ser esclavizada Josefina olvidó eso. Bakhita fue el hombre raro pero significante que los mismos que la habían esclavizado le habían puesto. Significa en el lenguaje africano. AFORTUNADO. Vamos a ver como ese apodo se hizo ser muy verdadero. Josefina fue vendida al cónsul Italiano, Callisto Legnani. Por primera vez desde su niñez Josefina fue tratada con respeto, amor y ternura. Llegó a vivir con las Hermanas Canosianas. Allá Josefina llegó a conocer con las Hermanas a Dios a quien, sin darse cuenta ella le había conocido en su corazón dese de niñez. Josefina dijo esto: ”Yo, viendo al sol, la luna y las estrellas me dije a mi misma…¿Quién será el maestro de estas cosas hermosas? Yo sentía un gran deseo de conocerle y hacerle homenaje...' Durante esta Cuaresma los catecúmenos se preparan para su Bautismo en la Vigilia Pascual. Josefina entró el catecumenado en 1890 y entonces fue bautizado. Después, habiendo recibido el nombre JOSEFINA, recordando el día de su Bautismo besaba la Fuente Bautismal en las Iglesias. Y dijo esto: :”Aquí me hice Hija de Dios!' Cada día Josefina se hizo más consciente de quien es Dios. Ella le conocía y le amaba porque Dios le tenía por la mano. Josefina se quedó en el catecumenado donde experimentó Dios llamándole a ser hermana en el Instituto de Santa Magdalena de Canossa…Siempre hablaba de Dios con ternura como EL MAESTRO. La humildad de Bakhita, su sencillez, su sonrisa ganó los corazones de todos. Las hermanas del convento apreciaron su naturaleza dulce y su profundo deseo de hacer Dios. EL MAESTRO conocido y amado. Dijo: ‘Seamos buenos, amemos al Señor. Oremos por los que no le conocen todavía. “¡Qué gran gracia lo es conocerle a Dios”! Cuando llegó a ser vieja y la gente le preguntó: “¿Cómo estás? Les contestó: “Como quiere el Maestro”….Poco antes de morir parece que se asustó, recordando sus días como esclava y le dijo a la enfermera: “Por favor suelten las cadenas. ¡Son demasiado duras!” Sus últimas palabras son: ¡¡Nuestra Señora!! Nuestra Señora!!..Todos sabían que Josefina veía a la Madre de Dios. LA IGLESIA ES “BAKHITA”…Es decir la Iglesia es AFORTUNADA tener a Santa Josefina Bakhita..Para enviarme comentarios tdeely7352@hotmail.com

WALKING WITH THE SAINTS l FEAST OF ST. JOSEPHINE BAKHITA, PATRON SAINT OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING l FEBRUARY 8 “Suffering is an instrument of transformation and sanctity.” These words are fittingly applied to our saint for today, St. Josephine Bakhita, who experienced a lot of sufferings but accepted them all in patience and humility. Josephine came from a respected family in Dafur, now in western Sudan. Born in a large family with three brothers and three sisters around 1869, she lived a happy and carefree life. In 1877, however, when she was about 8 years old, she was kidnapped by Arab slave traders. She was chained, made to walk 960 kilometers to El Obeid and was sold twice before reaching the place. In a course of twelve years she was sold three more times and was forced to accept the Muslim religion. Her fourth owner was a Turkish general whose wife and children maltreated and wounded her. She said that the most terrifying experience she had was, when together with other slaves, she received the tattoes. She was sliced on her breast, belly and right arm. In 1883, her Turkish master sold her to an Italian Vice Consul to Khartuom, Sudan, who gave her to his friend Augusto Michieli. She was brought to their family villa in Veneto, 25 kilometers west of Venice, and lived there for three years as nanny to his daughter; and the new family treated her kindly. When the Michieli's wife went to Sudan for their business affairs, she left Josephine and her daughter for a while in the convent of the Canossians. Upon her return to take her daughter, Josephine refused to go with them. Her teachers contacted the Patriarch of Venice who ruled out that since slavery is unconstitutional in Italy, Josephine can be legally free from her master. She therefore remained with the Sisters and on January 9, 1890, she was baptized, confirmed and received Holy Communion from Archbishop Giuseppe Sarto, future Pope Pius X. According to her story, she forgot her real name due to her trauma and was given the name Bakhita, Arabic for fortunate. Josephine joined the Sisters at the Institute of St. Magdalene of Canossa to become a nun. She entered the novitiate on December 7, 1893 and, took her first vows on December 8, 1896. In 1902, she was assigned to the convent at Schio, in the Italian province of Vicenza. During her 42 years there, she worked as cook, sacristan, portress and was in frequent contact with the people. The Canossian Sisters noticed the special charisma of St. Josephine, so she was also assigned to visit the communities of the Sisters and to prepare young Sisters for work in Africa. A strong love for the mission animated her whole life. She was described as one “whose mind was always on God, and her heart in African mission.” The people of Vicenza called her “Sor Moretta” (little black sister) or “Madre Moretta” (black mother). In 1931, her life story entitled Storia Meravigliosa, written by Ida Zanolini was published and it made her famous throughout Italy. During her old age, she used a wheelchair and her life was marked with illness and pains but she remained cheerful. When asked about her kidnappers, she said she would kiss their feet because through them she was blessed with many graces. Her last words before dying were “Our Lady! Our Lady.” It was February 8, 1947. During the three days that her body was in repose, thousands of people came to pay their respect. Later, her remains were transferred to the Church of the Holy Family of the Canossians of Schio in 1969. She was beatified on May 17, 1992 and canonized on October 1, 2000. Virtue: faith, humility, innocence, kindness, patience, forgiveness, long-suffering and charity Prayer: “O St. Bakhita, assist all those who are trapped in a state of slavery and give comfort to survivors of captivity. Let them look to you as an example of hope and faith.

El perdón no quita nada, sino que añade dignidad a la persona. Ejemplo de ello es la santa a la que el Papa Francisco dedicó su catequesis sobre el celo apostólico de este 11 de octubre: Santa Josefina Bakhita. Sudanesa de origen, secuestrada a los siete años y vendida como esclava, llevaba en su cuerpo más de cien cicatrices. Su vida, dijo el Papa, se ha convertido en “una parábola existencial del perdón”.PARA VERLA Y ESCUCHARLA, pincha aquí: https://youtu.be/h63EpBE8CjQ?si=VVi7GYyjI6aU5ZQQ

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 331The Saint of the day is Saint Josephine BakhitaSaint Josephine Bakhita's Story For many years, Josephine Bakhita was a slave but her spirit was always free and eventually that spirit prevailed. Born in Olgossa in the Darfur region of southern Sudan, Josephine was kidnapped at the age of 7, sold into slavery and given the name Bakhita, which means fortunate. She was resold several times, finally in 1883 to Callisto Legnani, Italian consul in Khartoum, Sudan. Two years later, he took Josephine to Italy and gave her to his friend Augusto Michieli. Bakhita became babysitter to Mimmina Michieli, whom she accompanied to Venice's Institute of the Catechumens, run by the Canossian Sisters. While Mimmina was being instructed, Josephine felt drawn to the Catholic Church. She was baptized and confirmed in 1890, taking the name Josephine. When the Michielis returned from Africa and wanted to take Mimmina and Josephine back with them, the future saint refused to go. During the ensuing court case, the Canossian Sisters and the patriarch of Venice intervened on Josephine's behalf. The judge concluded that since slavery was illegal in Italy, she had actually been free since 1885. Josephine entered the Institute of St. Magdalene of Canossa in 1893 and made her profession three years later. In 1902, she was transferred to the city of Schio (northeast of Verona), where she assisted her religious community through cooking, sewing, embroidery, and welcoming visitors at the door. She soon became well loved by the children attending the sisters' school and the local citizens. She once said, “Be good, love the Lord, pray for those who do not know Him. What a great grace it is to know God!” The first steps toward her beatification began in 1959. She was beatified in 1992 and canonized eight years later. Reflection Josephine's body was mutilated by those who enslaved her, but they could not touch her spirit. Her Baptism set her on an eventual path toward asserting her civic freedom and then service to God's people as a Canossian Sister. She who worked under many “masters” was finally happy to address God as “master” and carry out everything that she believed to be God's will for her. Learn more about Saint Josephine Bakhita!

8 DE FEBRERO - SANTA JOSEFINA BAKHITA, RELIGIOSA
February 8: Saint Josephine Bakhita, Virgin 1869–1947 Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: White (Violet on Lenten Weekday) Patron Saint of Sudan and human-trafficking survivors Out of Africa comes a slave, to freely serve the Master of all Black-on-black or Arab-on-black slavery normally preceded and made possible the white-on-black slavery practiced by the colonial powers. These powers—England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy—were not slave societies, but their colonies were. The complex, pancultural reality of the slave trade and of slavery itself was on full display in the dramatic early life of today's saint. The future Josephine was born in Western Sudan, centuries after the Church and most Catholic nations had long since outlawed slavery. Enforcing such teachings and laws was infinitely more difficult, however, than promulgating them. And so it happened that a little African girl was kidnapped by Arab slave traders, forced to walk six hundred miles barefoot, and was then sold and resold over a twelve-year period. She was forcibly converted from her native religion to Islam, was cruelly treated by one master after another, was whipped, tattooed, and scarred. After experiencing all the humiliations inherent to captivity, she was bought by an Italian diplomat. She had been too young, and it had been too long, so she did not even know her own name when the diplomat bought her, and she had unclear recollections of where her family would be. She, essentially, had no people. The slave traders had given her the Arabic name Bakhita, “The Fortunate,” and the name stuck. Living with limited freedom as a maid with her new family, Bakhita first learned what it meant to be treated like a child of God. No chains, no lashes, no threats, no hunger. She was surrounded by the love and warmth of normal family life. When her new family was returning to Italy, she asked to accompany them, thus beginning the long second half of her life's story. Bakhita eventually settled with a different family near Venice and became the nanny for their daughter. When the parents had to tend to overseas business, Bakhita and the daughter were put in the care of local nuns. Bakhita was so edified by the sisters' prayer and charity that when her family returned to take her home, she refused to leave the convent, a decision reaffirmed by an Italian court which determined she had never legally been a slave in the first place. Bakhita was now absolutely free. “Freedom from” exists to make “freedom for” possible, and once free from obligations to her family, Bakhita chose to be free for service to God and her religious order. She freely chose poverty, chastity, and obedience. She freely chose not to be free. That is the opposite of slavery. Bakhita took the name Josephine and was baptized, confirmed, and received First Holy Communion on the very same day from the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice, Giuseppe Sarto, the future Pope Saint Pius X. The same future saint received her religious vows a few years later. Saints know saints. The trajectory of Sister Josephine's life was now settled. She would remain a nun until her death. Throughout her life, Sister Josephine would often kiss the baptismal font, grateful that in its holy water she became a child of God. Her duties were humble—cooking, sewing, and greeting visitors. For a few years she travelled to other communities of her Order to share her remarkable story and to prepare younger sisters for service in Africa. One nun commented that “her mind was always on God, but her heart in Africa.” Her humility, joy, and sweetness were infectious, and she became well known for her closeness to God. After heroically enduring a painful illness, she died with the words “Our Lady, Our Lady” on her lips. Her process began in 1959, and she was canonized by Pope Saint John Paul II in 2000. Saint Josephine, you lost your freedom when young and gave it away when an adult, showing that freedom is not the goal but the pathway to serving the Master of all. From your place in heaven, give hope to those enduring the indignity of slavery and to those bound tightly by other chains.
Bakhita is a multidisciplinary artist who has built a remarkable reputation within the alternative Kenyan music scene. As a musician she refers to her genre as an alternative neo-jazz artist, her songs appeal to the mind and those looking to get meaning out of life. As a painter, she uses her artwork to express her outlook on the world and as a set designer, she uses music videos to spread the message in her music further. In this interview, she features Off The Cuff - a pilot program by Radio 254, where Sophie and Wangechi have a conversation with her with regard to her music, her artistry and her vision for the scene she is involved in.

L'émission 28 Minutes du 09/08/2022 Au programme de l'émission du 9 août 2022 ⬇ “Le Gosse” : cette enfance que la France a réprimée “Je suis profondément attachée à l'enfance, car c'est une période fondatrice de la vie”. Celle de l'écrivaine Véronique Olmi démarre à Nice en 1962 au sein d'une fratrie de six enfants. Si ses carnets portent le récit de sa vie durant son enfance, à l'âge adulte ses écrits prennent vie sur les planches, où ses pièces de théâtre sont adaptées. Titulaire de nombreux prix, les pages de ses romans “Bord de Mer”, “Cet été-là” et tout particulièrement “Bakhita”, confirment par la suite le succès de sa plume d'autrice. Son nouvel ouvrage, “Le Gosse” (éditions Albin Michel), s'attache aux destins tumultueux du petit Joseph âgé de sept ans et des enfants placés par l'État Français à l'Assistance Publique durant l'entre-deux-guerres. Véronique Olmi est notre invitée du jour. Le record historique du déficit commercial de la France / La France consomme… mais ne produit plus ? La France s'apprête à pulvériser un triste record : celui du déficit de son commerce extérieur. Sur le premier semestre de 2022, il s'élève d'ores et déjà à 71 milliards d'euros, comme indiqué par Bercy ce vendredi 5 août. Ce chiffre historiquement haut pourrait atteindre 140 milliards à la fin de l'année et continue inlassablement de grimper. La situation ne cesse donc de s'aggraver puisque l'Hexagone présente un déficit croissant depuis vingt ans. Concrètement, cela signifie que nous importons de manière bien plus conséquente que ce que nous ne produisons pour répondre à nos besoins. La facture énergétique française mirobolante qui a presque doublé en quelques mois, suite à l'instabilité géopolitique qui secoue l'Europe, est en partie responsable de ce constat. Pourtant, si nos filières d'exportations se raréfient, cela s'explique principalement par une désindustrialisation massive de nos productions, qu'elles soient agroalimentaires ou automobiles. Comment stopper l'hémorragie de notre déficit commercial ? On en débat avec nos invités. Enfin, retrouvez également les chroniques de Victor Dekyvère et de Marie Bonnisseau ainsi que le "À la Loop" de Matthieu Conquet. 28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Jean-Mathieu Pernin du lundi au vendredi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio. Enregistrement : 9 août 2022 - Présentation : Jean-Mathieu Pernin - Production : KM, ARTE Radio
El Padre Pedro nos habla de la vida de Bakhita. Para los católicos africanos, Santa Josefina Bakhita, es un gran símbolo, ya que los cristianos y las mujeres africanas son honradas por lo que sufrieron en momentos de esclavitud. Ella verdaderamente fue fiel ante la adversidad.

Hoy celebramos a Santa Bakhita, que significa "afortunada". Es el nombre que se le puso cuando fue secuestrada, ya que por la fuerte impresión, nunca llegó a recordar su verdadero nombre. Josefina es el nombre que recibió en el bautismo.
