Bakhita’s hope turns to joy as she visits the convent of the Canossian sisters. Joy is added to joy as she receives instruction in the faith. Bakhita finds true freedom for the first time in God’s love, and moves toward forgiving her tormentors.
This episode contains raised voices, incidental mentions of slavery, tattooing, and violence. An atheistic character speaks disparagingly about the faith.
