Abstract

Mystagogy has been recognized as an archaic word which was revived and developed after the Second Vatican Council. The Council begins to facilitate some pastoral concerns on the baptism for adults. The meaning of mystagogy is even more enlarged not only in the scope of liturgical teachings and rites of initiation. It also covers daily life of the faithful in every age and society. This article will present how the dynamic application of the mystagogical process helps clarify the connection between mystagogy and daily experiences of the faithful. Mystagogy is still ‘at work’ and continues to develop in the praxis of faith. Inspired by some theological approaches, the second part of this writing will discuss the connection between mystical sense and daily experience. The author will portray the relations ‘between the mystagogue and the myste’ and ‘between the myste and God’ towards the mystery of faith, before exploring mystagogy in daily experiences within the contexts of mystery and self-transcendence. An extended application of this reinterpretation will be offered in the last section to lead towards transformation through the daily experiences. Key Words:*Mystagogy *Catechesis *Pedagogy *Discipleship *The myste *Mystical experience *Daily life experience *Transformation *Self-transcendence *Spiritual journey.

Abstract

Mystagogy was developed within early Christian communities, particularly with regard to the Sacraments of Christian Initiation. The idea of mystagogy was conceived in patristic time during the fourth and fifth centuries. Through the homilies and catechetical teachings, the church fathers described mystagogy as part of catecheses for candidates and neophytes before and after Easter. In this article, the idea of mystagogy is reconsidered through its understandings from the Greco-Roman world to early Christianity up to the context surrounding the church of today, mainly in the context of Sacraments of Initiation for adult. How mystagogy works in Christian liturgical teachings on Initiation will be analysed and its role in the liturgical context of the church will be refreshed. The revival of mystagogy has been initiated by the Vatican II when theology, catechesis and culture were put into dialogue. This move brings us further to see mystagogy as a personal and communal formation of a Christian.Keywords :*mystagogy, *mystagogue, *myste, *catechesis, *baptism, *church, *initiation, *sacrament, *cult, *rite of passage, *mystery, *christian community, *faith, *spiritual theology, *Vatican II, *liturgy, *revival.
