Father Dankasa: Why should we sacrifice?

Sunday, May 8, 2022068 The word sacrifice means several things. In a religious or cultic sense, it may mean “the offering of animal, plant, or human life or of some material possession to a deity, as in propitiation or homage” But in everyday usage it may mean the giving up of something that is considered valuable by one person for something of higher...

Saturday, February 5, 20220134 Catholic Schools Week (Jan. 30 to Feb. 5 this year) is a time to reflect on the gift of Catholic education and to support the many men and women who work so hard to offer that education to children throughout the world.

Father Dankasa: The courage to rescind a bad decision

Friday, January 14, 20220206 By Father Jacob Dankasa Special to The Texas Catholic In our lives there may have been times when we made a wrong decision, took a regrettable action, made the wrong choice, carried out an act in error, or made promises we were unable to fulfill. Those are moments that we may look back on and wish we didn’t have things like that in...

Father Gollob: With nativity, we have chance to see and celebrate spirit of season

Saturday, December 18, 2021048 One of the great traditions of Christianity was initiated in 1223 A.D. by the good saint, Francis of Assisi. He had been distressed by the religious indifference of his day. Christ had become a cold and foreign symbol to many of his countrymen.

Father Dankasa: Advent reminds us of John the Baptist as model of humility for our world

Friday, December 17, 2021062 In my last column I reflected on how we can live out our desert experience every day. I presented John the Baptist as a model for our own type of spiritual desert. He invited the people to the desert to have an encounter with God, to change their lives, to repent of their sins, and to abandon themselves to God (Mk. 1:1-11). This was an...

Father Gollob: A lesson can be learned from apostles’ differences

Wednesday, July 21, 2021092 Last month, while celebrating the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, I was reminded about the roles that these two Apostles played in the early Christian Church. Peter had listened to the personal teaching of Jesus and also he had been appointed to be the Rock on which the Church was to be built.

Father Esposito: Edith Stein — philosopher, convert, martyr, saint

Wednesday, July 21, 20210410 Few religious orders can match the Carmelites’ All-Star lineup for sanctity of life and brilliance of theological writings: John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Thérèse of Lisieux, and Elizabeth of the Trinity are the heaviest hitters in this illustrious branch of contemplatives. Equal to those great figures, in my opinion, is the...

Father Dankasa: Remembering our Purpose on Earth

Thursday, April 15, 20210201 I remember growing up and learning catechism using the question-and-answer format of the simple catechism of the Catholic Church, which was mainly memorization. I still remember very well many of the questions and answers because they have stayed in my head.

Father Dankasa: Remembering and living our baptismal promises

Friday, March 19, 20210190 When we are baptized we make some promises which are known as Baptismal Promises. We promise to reject Satan and all his works and all his empty promises. And every year at Easter we renew these baptismal promises. (If we are baptized as infants, our parents make those promises on our behalf during our baptism.) As we grow to adulthood...

Father Gollob: Thoughts on giving thanks and days gone by

Friday, November 27, 2020038 As we look for something to celebrate during this time of Thanksgiving and it is difficult to find a clear pathway in the midst of stress and distress, and violence and a general bankruptcy of jobs, and of freedom to roam, and of friends to mingle with, and of sports extravaganzas to attend, what will give us hope?
