Abstract

Before the arrival and the dominion of the Portuguese and the Dutchmen with its Christianity in the island of Timor, the Dawanese people of Timor have been inheriting and practising its own tribal religion. Even today this native religion has quite strongly and deeply influenced the religious conduct and behaviour of many Dawanese Catholics. These Catholics, beside practising their Catholic faith, they are still practising the “faith and the rite” of Hauteas. Hauteas itself is a strong big stick of wood with three branches, and sorrounding its foot there is a constructed circular altar of stones, that is Faot Makana. Hauteas is always built in the front of the sacred house of the Dawanese that is Uem Leu or Uem Adat. For the Dawanese people, the Hauteas is essentially “the living tree” since it is symbolizing, representing and manifesting the faith and belief of the Dawanese people to their gods. Hauteas functions also as an altar to pray and to offer the sacrifices. Hauteas is the “fountain of life”. The “life” of the Dawanese people comes through the trunk of this wood with its three branches. The longer and tallest branch of Hauteas symbolizes and represents the presence of the supreme god (Uis Neno), that is the lord of heaven. One of the lower and shorter branches symbolizes and represents the presence of Uis Pah, that is the lord of earth, and another one symbolizes and represents the presence of Be’i-Nai, that is the genealogical ancestors. The altar of stones (Faot Ben Makana) is “the offering and meeting place” between the Dawanese with their gods. The Dawanese people of Timor have a kind of “triune god” that gives and grants upon them life, safety, fertility, welfare, peace and blessings.

Abstract

Underscrutinized psalms of 93, 100, 121, 126 and 128 are underlaying and performing the very essence of the God of Israel as the merciful, loving and liberating God. Nothing is to lose with the God of Israel. The essence of the God of Israel as the eternal King (Ps.93), the faithful Keepguarder (Ps. 121) and the Hope of Israel (126) provokes and invites the people of Israel to hail and to adore Him in His Holy Place (Ps. 100) in order to get and to inherit His plentiful Blessings (Ps. 128). In other words, those who have the holy fear to God and faithfully obeying His commandments deserve God’s blessings. On these theological perspectives we have investigated the Catholic parishioners and its leaders of St. Peter and Paul’s half Parish - Oesapa, to find out howfar they have performed and embodied the mercy of God and obeying His commandments. And they are making effort and advancing in serving the Church and obeying the God’s commandments.

Abstract

The awareness of the sinfulness of the people today is very minimal. This has led to less participation in the celebration of the sacrament of penance. This paper is a paper that elaborates on the importance of awareness of guilt and sin.  The book of Psalms 130 becomes a reference so that people can understand the importance of awareness of sin and get forgiveness because of God's faithful love for humans. The research method used is qualitative method or literature study. By using this method, this paper can help the faithful to realize sin and the importance of the sacrament of penance in life to restore the relationship with God.

Abstract

Torah are the norms or rules of life of every aspect in the society of Israelites. It is associated also with the covenant which made between God and His chosen nation, the Israelite. In the journey of history, this Torah was contextualized with the Jewish people. The Jews interpret the Torah as a visible instrument for them to lead them to obtain eternal life in the future. However, the Pharisees and scribes understood the Torah in a positivistic way. Therefore, based on the text of Matthew 5:17-20, and by using qualitative methods with a literature approach, the article will review and discuss Jesus as a figure who progressively realized the Torah. The basic for the progressive realization of Torah is love. Furthermore, the progressive realization of Torah makes law in the sense of humanizing the human beings.

Abstract

The patience of the faith of the righteous in the face of suffering. The prototype of the patience of the righteous that we want to address is Job. The suffering that Job experienced is a picture of the suffering of a good and righteous man who fears evil. Job feared evil so much that he lived a life of obedience to God, but interestingly he still fell into a tremendous suffering. Job lost all his wealth, family and illnesses but he remained patient and always relied on God. In the face of various trials, Job accepted them willingly and did not make him angry and far from God. Job's patience in various trials is worthy to be emulated by humans in this era. Job's sufferings were sufferings where God wanted to test Job's faith and patience. Just as God tries the faith and patience of the righteous, God will return and restore Job's suffering by bestowing abundant blessings again.

Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas peran keibuan Maria sebagai teladan iman dan kebajikan yang menjadi landasan hidup umat beriman, dengan fokus pada Injil Matius 2:13-23. Melalui analisis teks tersebut, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi tiga aspek peran keibuan Maria: sebagai Pelindung dalam perjalanan Iman, ibu yang penuh kasih dalam tantangan pengungsian, dan ikon ketaatan dan kebaikan dalam pengungsian. Berdasarkan telaah terhadap teks Alkitab, dokumen Konsili Vatikan II, serta literatur terdahulu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali relevansi peran keibuan Maria bagi kaum ibu kristiani masa kini, terutama di era postmodern dengan kompleksitas tantangan pengungsian dan kekerasan. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan wawasan baru tentang makna dan signifikansi peran keibuan Maria dalam kehidupan umat beriman pada masa kini.
