Abstract

The study explores the role of the Personal Evangelization School (PES) as a structured model of lay formation in fostering apostolate spirituality within the contemporary Church, particularly in the Indonesian context and the digital era. Rooted in the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council, the study responds to challenges such as secularization, limited lay formation, and the expansion of digital culture. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on literature review and supported by observational data from PES activities in the Suffragan Diocese of Bogor, the study analyzes the theological foundations and pastoral practices of PES. The findings show that PES effectively cultivates lay apostolate spirituality by integrating personal encounter with Christ, communal participation, and missionary engagement. A key contribution of the study lies in demonstrating how digital platforms, such as Zoom, reshape the nature of ―personal encounter‖ through mediated, dialogical, and reflective interactions. While these digital encounters foster authentic forms of communion, They remain distinct from the embodied presence required in sacramental life. In conclusion, PES emerges as a strategic pastoral instrument that bridges theological reflection and pastoral praxis, forming missionary disciples capable of engaging both physical and digital spaces.

Abstract

The study offers a theological examination of the relationship between Christian faith, political life, and the vocation to build world peace, grounded in Gaudium et Spes articles 73–78. Within the contemporary global context marked by armed conflicts, democratic crises, ideological polarization, and structural injustice, the study reaffirms the enduring relevance of the Second Vatican Council’s social theology for the presence of Christian faith in the public sphere. Employing a qualitative research design, the study is based on a literature review with a textual–contextual analysis of conciliar documents, combined with critical engagement with works in social theology and Christian political ethics. The findings indicate that, from the perspective of faith, politics is understood as a form of service to the common good (bonum commune) and as a concrete arena for the enactment of the ethical responsibility of believers. The relationship between Church and state is articulated through the principle of a healthy and dialogical autonomy, which enables the Church to exercise its moral and prophetic role without succumbing to the logic of power or domination. Furthermore, Gaudium et Spes affirms that authentic peace is not merely the absence of conflict but the fruit of justice rooted in God’s reconciling work in Christ. Accordingly, Christian faith is presented as a transformative force with an essential public dimension, one that fosters the ethical engagement of believers in the pursuit of justice and peace in the world.

Abstract

ABSTRACTEducation should not focus solely on academics but also on developing students' character and spirituality. In Catholic education, strengthening students' faith is a crucial element, particularly in multicultural environments. One way to achieve this goal is through recollection activities, designed to help students reflect on the values of faith in their daily lives and bear witness to the diversity of the school environment. Recollection is not merely an activity but also an effective means of enhancing the faith and spirituality of Catholic students. The method used in community service (PkM) is an interactive, reflective, and participatory lecture, aimed at helping participants understand and implement the values of faith and love in diversity. Through this approach, it is hoped that students will become witnesses of Christ with love and tolerance amidst diversity. One implementation method is a focus group discussion (FGD). The most memorable experience of recollection is the opportunity for self-reflection and the sharing of experiences, in which students recognize the value of diversity and the importance of their relationships with God and others within a diverse environment. Keywords: education, spirituality, Focus Group Discussion, reflection, recollection ABSTRAKPendidikan seharusnya tidak hanya berfokus pada aspek akademis, tetapi juga pada pengembangan karakter dan spiritualitas siswa. Dalam konteks pendidikan Katolik, penguatan iman siswa menjadi elemen yang sangat penting, terutama di lingkungan yang multikultural. Salah satu cara untuk mencapai tujuan ini adalah melalui kegiatan rekoleksi, yang dirancang untuk membantu siswa merenungkan nilai-nilai iman dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan memberikan kesaksian dalam suasana keberagaman sekolah. Rekoleksi bukan hanya sekadar kegiatan, tetapi juga sarana yang efektif untuk meningkatkan iman dan spiritualitas siswa Katolik. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) adalah ceramah interaktif, reflektif, dan partisipatif, yang bertujuan agar peserta dapat memahami serta mengimplementasikan nilai-nilai iman dan kasih dalam keragaman. Melalui pendekatan ini, diharapkan siswa dapat menjadi saksi Kristus dengan penuh kasih dan toleransi di tengah keragaman. Salah satu metode pelaksanaan adalah diskusi kelompok terfokus (FGD). Pengalaman paling berkesan dari rekoleksi adalah kesempatan untuk refleksi diri dan berbagi pengalaman, di mana siswa menyadari keunikan keberagaman dan pentingnya hubungan mereka dengan Tuhan dan sesama dalam lingkungan yang beragam. Kata kunci: pendidikan, spiritualitas, Focus Group Discussion, refleksi, rekoleksi
