Abstract

The This study aims to describe the discourse of integral ecology and the praxis of ecological conversion within families at Saint Joseph Parish, Lawe Desky, in light of the Encyclical Laudato Si’. Ecological crises in agrarian regions are often triggered by the tension between economic necessity and environmental preservation, requiring a theological-practical review at the grassroots level. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were gathered through observation and in-depth interviews with seven lay families, the Parish Pastoral Council (DPPH), and the Parish Priest. The results reveal a “cognitive anomaly”, where the faithful are unfamiliar with the technical terminology of Laudato Si’, yet substantially embody the values of stewardship through an existential awareness of human dependence on nature. The praxis of ecological conversion manifests in microscopic actions within the Ecclesia Domestica, such as disciplined waste management and intergenerational ecological education. Nevertheless, structural hurdles persist, particularly the economic dependence on the corn farming sector, which poses risks of forest degradation. This research concludes that sustainable ecological conversion in Lawe Desky requires an integration of spiritual faith and the transformation of agricultural techniques aligned with nature.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the understanding of the faithful and the implementation of Eucharistic liturgical gestures at Saint Christopher Parish, Siborongborong. Liturgical gestures such as the sign of the cross, standing, sitting, kneeling, and striking the chest are essential elements of active participation in the Eucharistic celebration. These gestures are not just physical actions but carry profound spiritual significance. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the faithful’s understanding of the symbolic meaning of these gestures remains limited, which leads to a tendency to perform them mechanically without deep spiritual reflection. This lack of understanding results in a disconnect between the physical actions and their intended spiritual effects. Nevertheless, in practice, the faithful generally follow these gestures in accordance with the liturgical norms of the Church. Therefore, the study emphasizes the need for continuous and contextual liturgical formation programs. These programs should aim to deepen the awareness and spiritual engagement of the faithful in the Eucharistic celebration, ensuring that the gestures are not just performed but fully understood and internalized.
