Abstract

Manggarai's Teing Hang rites provide as a live medium for the internalization and expression of ancestral proverbs that govern social values and collective behaviours. The purpose of this study is to uncover the significance of the proverbs used in the Teing Hang ritual and to comprehend how the Manggarai community internalizes these expressions. Data were gathered utilizing a qualitative method incorporating elders, cultural experts, and the younger generation through in-depth interviews and interactive observations. Thematic data analysis was used to identify and comprehend the meaning by utilizing semiotic and pragmatic theories. The data triangulation procedure was also utilized to strengthen the validity and reliability of the research findings. The findings demonstrate that Teing Hang proverbs serve as a tool for ritual communication as well as having deep symbolic connotations that enhance the community's social, spiritual, and cultural relations. Learning to live with these local expressions offers a window into the difficulties the younger generation has upholding traditional norms in the face of globalization. By incorporating local culture into teaching and learning instruction, these findings are expected to contribute to the development of understanding about the importance of preserving culture and language in the modern era.

Abstract

Catechesis, as a contextual faith education, in Indonesia is realized through the Catechesis of the Ummah, which emphasizes social analysis in the light of faith with a practical hermeneutic approach. This approach directs faith education to the act of liberation from injustice. Although successful in involving the people in society, this approach tends to be pragmatic and does not pay attention to the transcendental dimension of faith, namely communion with God. This study aims to evaluate practical hermeneutic approaches in the Catechesis of the Ummah in Indonesia, identify its impact on the appreciation of faith, and offer a more balanced hermeneutic alternative. Through literature review and qualitative content analysis of Church documents, academic works, and pastoral experiences, the research found the dominance of practical hermeneutics, the tendency of the Bible as a moral guide, the lack of faith transformation, and ideally the Ecclesiastical Base Community (KBG) as a forum for catechesis. In conclusion, in order to guarantee a balance of practical and transcendental dimensions, practical hermeneutics needs to be combined with post-hermeneutics. Post-hermeneutics emphasizes the role of the Word of God as a divine revelation that leads to the transformation of life and encourages a personal encounter with Christ, the primary goal of faith education.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital catechesis, especially in dioceses with limited access to in-person faith formation. This study explores the effectiveness of interactive pedagogy within digital catechesis in the Diocese of Ruteng-Flores-NTT during the post-COVID-19 new normal. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were gathered from structured interviews with catechists, clergy, and young Catholics, as well as participant observation of Zoom sessions, WhatsApp discussions, and YouTube content. The findings reveal that interactive digital methods—particularly Zoom-based catechesis—promoted higher engagement, dialogue, and deeper faith reflection, especially among youth. However, structural challenges such as poor internet connectivity and lack of catechist training limited full participation. The study highlights the importance of symbolic language, participatory learning methods, and enhanced digital competencies for catechists. These insights contribute to future strategies for effective and context-sensitive digital catechesis.

Abstract

Gereja meyakini bahwa Kristus adalah sukacita Injil bagi semua. Mewartakan sukacita injil ini adalah tugas seluruh anggota Gereja, terutama para katekis. Tantangan untuk tugas pewartaan di tengah era postmodern tidaklah gampang. Generasi postmodern cenderung curiga terhadap kebenaran yang bersifat universal. Akan tetapi dalam hati kecilnya, generasi ini selalu bergumul untuk menemukan kebenaran sejati. Pewartaan dalam hal ini perlu mengedepankan kebebasan, kesukarelaan, dan sikap keibuan Gereja. Di sini katekis hendaknya menjadi saksi, teman seperjalanan, bentara sabda, dan pembangun komunitas. Dan untuk tugas ini diperlukan katekis-katekis yang berkarakter.

Abstract

Model “Lonto Leok” dalam Katekese Kontekstual Gereja Lokal Manggarai. Katekese sebagai proses pendidikan iman selalu bersifat kontekstual karena iman pada hakekatnya selalu terlibat dalam pergumulan hidup yang konkrit. Katekese Gereja lokal Manggarai harus bersifat kontekstual. Dia harus menyentuh cita rasa pergumulan iman umat setempat. Pendekatan yang cocok adalah model “lonto leok”. Katekese “lonto leok” merupakan musyawarah iman melalui mana umat membahas persoalanya secara bersama-sama dalam terang iman Kristen. Katekese “lonto leok” sudah berjalan selama ini di KBG-KBG. Penekanan pada hermeneutik praktis yang digunakan di dalamnya membuat katekese “lonto leok” belum sungguh-sungguh menghantar umat kepada perjumpaan pribadi dengan Kristus, Sang Sabda kehidupan. Ke depan katekese “lonto leok” mesti mengedepankan hermeneutik paska, yang melihat hidup sebagai misteri panggilan, di dalamnya tersembunyi jejak-jejak Allah yang menyapa manusia untuk senantiasa terlibat dalam pembangunan Kerajaan Allah di tengah dunia. Dengan cara ini katekese “lonto leok” dapat membimbing umat Manggarai menjadi pribadi-pribadi yang beriman solid, mandiri, dan solider.

Abstract

Gereja pada dasarnya adalah penginjil. Tugasnya adalah memproklamirkan. Dalam tugas ini, ia tidak hanya melanjutkan isi pewartaan seperti yang terkandung dalam teks khotbah, tetapi juga memperhitungkan konteks pewartaan. Dengan demikian pewartaan selalu holistik. Pewartaan holistik selalu mengandaikan dialog teks dan konteks. Mengingat konteks multi-wajah, model pewartaan gereja menghormati keragaman pendekatan. Khotbah Gereja tidak boleh terjebak dalam satu model tunggal, yang menyebabkan pewartaannya menjadi kurang kontekstual dan tidak menghadapi orang-orang dalam berbagai situasi. Pewartaan holistik ini didukung oleh agen pastoral profesional. Para agen pastoral harus baik dalam kompetensi akademik, spiritual, pribadi, dan sosial.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the direction and practice of people catechesis in the 21st century of Ruteng Diocese, namely in the period 2010-2020. The research method used is documentation. Based on theory and document study, it is known that the practice of catechesis of the people in Ruteng Diocese during the 21st century was carried out in Basic Chriatian Communities. The basic direction is the development of the Kingdom of God in various fields of life, especially in the fields of culture, education, environment, ecclesiastical structure, politics, family, lay ministry, faith and the Eucharist. Kingdom-oriented catechesis is holistic. The aim is not only to develop understanding but also to prioritize the appreciation and manifestation of faith in daily concrete actions. Therefore the process is not monologue but interactive-communicative. The method of 3 M is that the people together look at their situation, evaluate it in the light of the Scriptures, and carry out follow-up actions. The people's satisfaction with the implementation of the people catechesis has not been satisfactory because the facilitators are not creative and the lack of skill in facilitating people catechesis meetings. In the future, it is necessary to provide adequate training for these facilitators

Abstract

In the face of the rapid development of technology and the increasing demand for efficient energy management, controlling household lights remotely has become an essential feature of modern smart homes. This research aims to develop and test a remote lighting control system using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, based on Arduino, which can be operated via a smartphone application to improve energy efficiency. The method used is an experimental approach with a quantitative design, where the system's functionality is evaluated in real-life settings. The system was tested across different locations, and the results show that it functions well with response times ranging from 1.6 to 3.99 seconds, demonstrating the system's dynamic responsiveness. The system allows users to operate lights remotely, helping reduce energy consumption in households. The implications of this study suggest that the IoT-based lighting control system can significantly contribute to energy savings, increase user convenience, and reduce carbon emissions. The findings also open up possibilities for expanding smart home technologies in resource-constrained environments. Further research is recommended to test the scalability of the system in larger residential settings and to explore its integration with other smart home devices for more comprehensive energy management solutions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of the principles of faith pedagogy in catechesis activities of the people in Mok Parish, Flores, as well as identify the gap between theory and practice that takes place in the field. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques involving parish priests, station administrators, KBG chairmen, and congregations at Waekekik Station. The results of the study show that the catechesis activities of the people are still instructive and formal, where the people are physically present but less involved in a reflective and participatory way. The factors that cause the low implementation of faith pedagogy include limited faith understanding, weak spiritual motivation, economic busyness, geographical terrain, and lack of facilitator capacity in implementing participatory methods. Analysis based on the theories of shared Christian praxis, experiential learning, and andragogy confirms that effective faith learning requires contextual experience, reflection, and dialogue of faith. This study recommends the need to update the catechesis method based on faith pedagogy that is more participatory and contextual, training facilitators, and the development of catechesis materials that are relevant to the lives of rural people. This approach is expected to be able to make catechesis a means of transforming faith that is alive and grounded in the social reality of the people.

Abstract

This article examines how participatory catechesis can serve as a catalyst for transforming the spirituality of the faithful by integrating theological reflection with empirical insights from a rural Catholic community in Flores, Indonesia. Despite the regularity of parish activities, many communities continue to experience a devotional life marked by routine participation, limited personal reflection, and minimal integration of faith into daily life. Drawing on the framework of Shared Christian Praxis, experiential learning theory, and contemporary theological understandings of Christian spirituality, this study investigates how dialogical, reflective, and experience-based catechesis can deepen spiritual awareness and foster interior transformation. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through interviews, participant observation, and document analysis in Stasi Waekekik of Paroki Mok, Flores, Indonesia. The findings reveal that participatory catechesis enhances engagement, encourages critical reflection on lived experiences, strengthens communal identity, and nurtures a spirituality rooted in active discipleship rather than passive observance. The study concludes that participatory catechesis is a vital pastoral approach capable of renewing the spiritual life of the faithful, particularly in rural communities where traditional didactic methods remain dominant. Practical recommendations are offered for catechists, parish leaders, and pastoral agents to cultivate catechetical environments that promote spiritual growth through participatory, contextual, and transformative learning.
