Saint Josephine Bahkita

from $30.00

An archival giclée print created with museum-quality pigment inks on fine art paper, faithfully preserving the depth, color, and contemplative presence of the original painting.

This charcoal portrait of St. Josephine Bakhita radiates a quiet strength born of suffering transformed by grace. Clutching the crucifix she came to love, her eyes shimmer with the memory of pain—but also with the profound peace of one who knows she is no longer a slave, but a beloved daughter.

Born into slavery in Sudan, trafficked and brutalized, Bakhita’s life is not defined by what was taken from her—but by the One who gave everything to redeem her. This drawing honors her unbreakable dignity and luminous forgiveness.

“I am definitively loved and whatever happens to me—I am awaited by this Love. And so my life is good.”
— St. Josephine Bakhita

“If I were to meet those slave traders who kidnapped me and even those who tortured me, I would kneel and kiss their hands. Because, if that had not happened, I would not be a Christian and a religious today.”

“The Lord has loved me so much: we must love everyone… we must be compassionate!”

Rendered in deep shadows and soft light, this image is a prayer of gratitude and trust. It invites us to look not at her chains, but at her freedom—etched in every gentle line of her face.

“Redeemed Daughter” is for all who have known wounds—visible or hidden—and who long to believe that nothing is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. A powerful presence for chapels, homes, retreat spaces, and ministries of healing and hope.
