Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of spirituality of mercy at the Klinik Pratama Tabita Gunungsitoli. Mercy is at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Church's calling. Mercy is the foundation of God's discipleship spirituality and is a characteristic of the way of life and the way of serving the medical staff at the Klinik Pratama Tabita Gunungsitoli. The motivation of the author in this study is that nowadays there is a tendency for humans not to build a culture of mercy. Planet earth as a home for human beings is felt uncomfortable and safe due to various acts of violence, injustice, discrimination, intolerance, ethical violations, and natural disasters. All of this indicates that humans live without mercy. This research is qualitative research with Appreciative Inquiry approach called the 4D process, namely discover, dream, design, and destiny. Using this research method, the researcher will get data directly from the respondents themselves about their experiences about the recognition, understanding and living out of mercy spirituality at the Klinik Pratama Tabita Gunungsitoli. From the study, it was found that the majority of medical professionals know, understand and living out the spirituality of mercy in life, especially in serving patients at the Klinik Pratama Tabita Gunungsitoli. The significant thing from their experience is that there are ten characteristics of mercy that animate their way of life and the way they serve patients, namely sympathy, hospitality, generosity, simplicity of heart, humility, willingness, sacrifice and selflessness.

Abstract

The main issue that is the focus of this study is what is the essence of the liturgy in the Catholic Church and how the Ars Celebrandi liturgy is in the perspective of Pope Benedict XVI. Therefore, this study wants to explore two important things, namely how a Catholic personally and communally understands the liturgy and how it was initiated by Pope Benedict through the theme of Ars Celebrandi. This research uses library research, which is supported by reference sources, especially Church documents and studies on the theme of liturgy and the Eucharist. Data and information are processed by researchers by sorting and examining the main ideas and classifying them in special themes according to the research objectives. This study found that Ars Celebrandi is the art of celebrating liturgical celebrations appropriately and can help the faithful to internalize all the mysteries of the faith that are celebrated in the liturgical celebration system so that in the end all the faithful can participate in the entire celebration of faith. Therefore, all liturgical leaders need to celebrate the liturgy according to the rules of the liturgy itself without having to improvise and be creative according to personal interpretation. Ars Celebrandi is closely related to the meaning of the mystery of faith, namely the encounter with God present in the liturgical celebration. Ars Celebrandi does not stop at the issue of how the liturgical celebration becomes a stunning display. However, Ars Celebrandi is more about the appreciation of the mystery of faith in oneness with God that is present in the liturgical celebration. This study is expected to add to the scientific treasures in the field of Catholic theology, especially those related to the meaning and significance of beauty in the liturgy of the Eucharist.

Abstract

The preparation of this thesis began with the experience and observation of the author who saw and felt for himself various things of concern in catechumenal coaching. Catechumen coaching has not been done optimally, so the results are not optimal. Many catechumens are easily accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church, even though they do not yet have sufficient knowledge and depth of faith. In addition, after being accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church, there is no further formation. Though there are several stages or processes that must be done so that a person has a deep understanding of the Catholic faith before being accepted or baptized. The fault is not with catechumens, but on the part of the Catholic Church itself; Especially catechumens coaches and materials used in coaching. We all expect that a person who is accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church will have a firm faith and dare to bear witness in life.

Abstract

This article aims to deeply reflect on the meaning of suffering and the cross in the light of Christian faith, as elaborated in the Encyclical Salvifici Doloris by Pope John Paul II. Suffering is an inevitable part of every human life. It should not be viewed merely as a negative experience or a painful burden, but also as a path that can lead one to a deeper understanding of faith and a closer relationship with God. The method used is the library research method, by collecting and analyzing various written sources such as books, scholarly journals, Church documents, and credible references from the internet. This approach aims to provide a strong theoretical foundation while also exploring various thoughts and recent findings relevant to the theme of this thesis. The findings of this study show that human suffering, when united with the suffering of Christ on the cross, has redemptive value and becomes a means of participating in God's work of salvation. This research concludes that, in the light of Christian faith, suffering holds a deeper meaning than simply being a painful experience. Suffering is not merely something to be endured, but also a way to participate in God’s salvific work and a means to lead humanity into a more intimate communion with Him.
