Abstract

Christians are pilgrims on this earth journeying towards the fulfilment of time. At the same time, they are also journeying along so many different axes of this world. Harmonizing the two journeys presents the Christians with a never-ending task of spiritually revitalizing themselves. The excess of progressing through secular journey as Christians brings a lot of toils to the center of their spirituality, the heart. Pope Francis's recent encyclic, Dilexit Nos, provides us with insights into the spiritual capacity of the heart. Especially, his treatment of St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises on the human heart may provide us with inspiration on the heart as the source of spiritual energy for journeying on the pilgrimage in this world. Applying different literatures of theology of spirituality to read the Encyclic, this paper will elaborate the role of the Exercises in nurturing our heart as the locus of spiritual pilgrimage. In combination with Pope Francis’ bull for the Jubilee of 2025, Spes Non Confundit, we can conclude that the sign of heart ready for a spiritual pilgrimage lies in its ability to grow eschatological hope. The spiritual pilgrimage of Christians needs to be based on the capacity of the heart to hope in the process towards the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom.

Abstract

This paper investigates the extent to which the application of Ricoeur's hermeneutics according to Joyce Ann Zimmerman can be a method for Liturgical Theology to understand the process of communication of faith during the Liturgy for the Church in the postmodern era. With the need to deepen the interdisciplinary dialogue between liturgy and other branches of science, this paper aims to delineate the point of convergence between Liturgical Theology and hermeneutics to create a more relevant application for Christians today. For this purpose, the methodology used in this paper is a literature study to dialogue Zimmerman’s thoughts with other thinkers focusing on the application of hermeneutics in Liturgical Theology. This paper finds that the application of Ricoeur’s hermeneutics according to Zimmerman can map the linguistic dynamics of liturgical celebrations to enable the transformation of the entire narrative of their life experiences into a narrative of faith. Nevertheless, this method needs to be complemented by the hermeneutics of real dialogical actions with the mystery of God action as a trigger for a deeper transformation of mystical experience in the liturgy towards social ethics. Abstrak Makalah ini mempertanyakan sejauh mana penerapan hermeneutika Ricoeur menurut Joyce Ann Zimmerman bisa menjadi metode bagi Teologi Liturgi untuk memahamai proses komunikasi iman dalam Liturgi di era postmodern. Dengan adanya kebutuhan untuk memperdalam dialog interdisipliner antara liturgi dan cabang-cabang ilmu lainnya, makalah ini bertujuan memperuncing titik temu antara Teologi Liturgi dan hermeneutika demi aplikasi yang lebih relevan bagi umat di masa kini. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam makalah ini adalah studi pustaka dengan mendialogkan pemikiran Zimmerman dengan pemikir-pemikir lainnya yang berfokus pada penerapan hermeneutika di bidang Teologi Liturgi. Ditemukan bahwa penerapan hermeneutika Ricoeur menurut Zimmerman dapat memetakan dinamika linguistik dari perayaan liturgi yang memungkinkan tranformasi seluruh narasi pengalaman hidup mereka menjadi narasi iman. Meski demikian, menurut penulis metode ini perlu dilengkapi dengan hermeneutika tindakan dialogal liturgis konkret dengan misteri ilahi sebagai pemicu transformasi pengalaman mistik dalam liturgi yang lebih mendalam, menuju ke etika sosial. Kata-kata kunci: hermeneutika, dinamika linguistik, partisipasi, distansiasi, apropriasi, pemahaman

Abstract

How can we relate the experience of encountering God during the Spiritual Exercises and our experiences after we return to our daily life? Juxtapositioning the two, we can find that sacramental imagination is the bridge between the Spiritual Exercises and the realities of daily life. The Spiritual Exercises provide us with the spiritual discipline to make our sacramental imagination alive. It is also this sacramental imagination that we relive every time we participate in a sacramental celebration. In the Spiritual Exercises, through applying our sacramental imagination, we are invited to engage with the development of our commitment to God. The level of awareness in this regard will be an indicator for the flourishing of our aesthetic self. Similarly, in the life of the sacraments of the Church, our polished and trained sacramental imagination will guide us to see the beauty of becoming a person ever more committed to the love of God and others.
