Father Dankasa: Now that Lent is over

Wednesday, April 19, 2023090 Every year we commemorate the season of Lent, which culminates with the celebration of Easter. This is always a reflective season that helps us examine our spiritual lives, identify with the suffering of Jesus, and share in the glory of His resurrection at Easter. During the season of Lent many of us resolve to model our lives on the...

Father Dankasa: Two voices in one

Thursday, March 9, 20230121 Have you ever wondered why Jesus told one of his closest friends — Peter — to “Get behind me, Satan!”? (Matthew 16:23). This was the man who had just proclaimed that Jesus was “… the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), and Jesus had responded in the presence of everyone, “Blessed are you, Simon son of...

Father Dankasa: Finding your prayer request tracker

Wednesday, February 8, 20230364 By Father Jacob Dankasa Special to The Texas Catholic People of faith believe in the power and efficacy of prayer – the act of intercession, petition, supplication, thanksgiving to God, or just keeping a relationship with the Lord.

Father Dankasa: Parents as family spiritual leaders

Friday, January 13, 20230215 As we come into a new year, many of us are contemplating how we’ll live in this new year. Many of us have made — or are still making — new year’s resolutions. As we all contemplate what our resolutions will be, let’s remember to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in making our resolutions, and then to help us keep them. Make your...
Father Dankasa: My heart is God’s dwelling place Columnists

Father Dankasa: My heart is God’s dwelling place

Wednesday, December 14, 20220284 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...

Father Dankasa: When God says 'No'

Sunday, November 13, 20220155 I once read a story of a little girl who kept praying and asking God to give her a bicycle, but she never got one. Her friends began to tease and laugh at her that God didn’t answer her prayers. But the girl responded to them and said, “He did. God said ‘No.’”
Father Dankasa: When I run toward God Columnists

Father Dankasa: When I run toward God

Wednesday, October 12, 20220134 We have all experienced moments of varying emotions — some sad, some happy. Humans have different ways of handling or showing emotions, and being emotional is not always a negative thing. In fact, I feel that emotions bring out our humanity, and we must not be shy or afraid to show emotion even as we try to control outbursts of...
Father Dankasa: Opening the door to receiving God’s grace Columnists

Father Dankasa: Opening the door to receiving God’s grace

Monday, September 19, 20220149 Grace is defined as an unmerited favor we receive from God. It’s freely given through God’s benevolence, and God bestows His grace upon anyone He chooses. By our creation as God’s children, every human is potentially a recipient of God’s grace, especially those who draw closer to Him.

Father Dankasa: A missionary culture that heals

Thursday, August 18, 20220169 When I was reflecting on what to write for this column, I thought of the story of the Good Samaritan as narrated in the Gospel of Luke 10:25-37. But the term “missionary culture” kept popping into my head. I had no idea what a missionary culture would be in this context, and I haven’t heard or read about it before. But with further...
