Father Dankasa: Two voices in one

Thursday, March 9, 20230152 Have you ever wondered why Jesus told one of his closest friends — Peter — to “Get behind me, Satan!”? (Matthew 16:23).

Father Dankasa: My heart is God’s dwelling place

Wednesday, December 14, 20220342 As God lives in our hearts, we need to keep them clean so that we can hear his voice. A clean heart avoids places that pollute the mind; a clean heart speaks words that build, not destroy; a clean heart catches the tongue before it gets loose into profanity; a clean heart listens to others and is empathetic to others’ needs; a clean...

Wednesday, October 12, 20220172 We have all experienced moments of varying emotions — some sad, some happy.
