Lessons in Resilience & of Thanksgiving from the Saints | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Saint Josephine Bakhita was born in Sudan in 1869 and canonized in 2000. She was kidnapped as a child and enslaved for 12 years where she was beaten emotionally and physically. When asked about it, Josephine often said she thanked her captors. Vice President and Editorial Director of EWTN News, Matthew Bunson, discusses why. Bunson shares what St. Bakhita's life teaches us about how to endure hardships in life and what her message is for those times when we go through darkness or uncertainty. Saint Ignatius of Loyola is the founder of the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits as they became known. He was born into a lesser nobility in Spain's Basque country and dreamed of a life of fame and glory. In 1521, a cannonball shattered his leg which changed the course of his life. But Ignatius struggled with deep emotions during his religious transformation. Bunson explains why that was. He fills us in on how St. Ignatius can help us show gratitude when we are struggling with our lives. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
