Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (Program Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) initiated by the Indonesian government aims to improve the nutritional quality of society, particularly among school children. However, the implementation of this program has generated various social controversies, including issues related to food quality, cases of food poisoning, and disparities in welfare between program staff and honorary teachers. This situation reflects the emergence of social tensions within society that can be interpreted as “signs of the times” from the perspective of pastoral theology. This study aims to analyze the controversies surrounding the MBG Program through a pastoral theological approach using the pastoral circle method, which consists of the stages of see, judge, and act. The study employs a qualitative approach through literature review of Church documents, Catholic social teachings, and relevant scholarly studies. The findings indicate that the controversies surrounding the MBG Program are not merely related to technical aspects of public policy, but also involve dimensions of social justice, human dignity, solidarity, and moral responsibility in the management of social welfare. In light of Catholic social teaching, particularly Fratelli Tutti and Evangelii Gaudium, this phenomenon becomes a pastoral call for the Church to be prophetically present in promoting social justice and the common good. Therefore, the social tensions that arise may become a space for theological reflection as well as an opportunity to strengthen social solidarity within society.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the varied levels of active participation among Catholic Youth (Orang Muda Katolik/OMK) in church life, where some are actively involved in ministries while others remain passive or distant. This study aims to deeply explore the meaning of the Eucharistic Celebration for the active involvement of OMK in church life. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive research method, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with seven OMK informants from various ages, educational levels, and parish communities, supplemented by observation and documentation techniques. The data were then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal a direct causality between the depth of understanding the Eucharist and the consistency of OMK’s active participation. Younger OMK members often view the Eucharist as a religious obligation or spiritual refreshment, whereas more mature members reflect on it existentially as the source and summit (culmen et fons) of faith. Active participation is highly supported by supportive family faith socialization, inclusive pastoral approaches by pastors acting as companions, and spaces for liturgical self-actualization. Conversely, it is hindered by digital distractions, strict institutional structures, and time management constraints. The implications of this research suggest that the Church must continuously present vibrant liturgies, contextual formation, and user-friendly pastoral guidance to transform Eucharistic spiritual dimensions into practical community services
