Bakhita y rencontre le Dieu d'Amour, son seul maître et Seigneur, reçoit le baptème et entend l'appel du Christ à lui consacrer sa vie. Entrée chez les soeurs canossiennes, elle swimsuit pas à pas, pendant près d'un demi-siècle, une "petite voie" spirituelle étinnamment proche de celle de sa contemporaine, Thérèse de Lisieux..
