Abstract

Young Catholics are the next generation of sources of the Catholic faith. One of these is the holy book. The young Catholics of the island of Timor-NTT-Indonesia are very active in ecclesial activities. However, in reality, there are still many who do not have adequate knowledge and understanding of the Deuteurocanonical scriptures. This research aims to examine young Catholics' understanding and implementation of the Deuterocanonical Scriptures on the island of Timor-NTT and its impact on religious harmony. The method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and observations. The data obtained were reduced and analyzed so that they met the objectives of the research. The research results obtained show that young people's understanding of the Holy Bible is still minimal, especially regarding the differences between Catholic and Protestant holy books. However, the awareness of the importance of reading and meditating on the Holy Bible as a guide to life is quite high. To increase religious harmony on this island, intense socialization regarding the values ​​of the Deuterocanonical Scriptures is necessary. In conclusion, the values ​​contained in the Deuterocanonical Scriptures have great potential to strengthen relations between religious communities if well understood and implemented.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low level of student concern for environmental cleanliness on the STIPAS campus of the Kupang Archdiocese, which was characterized by the large amount of rubbish scattered around such as leaves, plastic, tissue and paper in the campus area. In response, this research uses guidance from Pope Francis' Encyclical Laudato Si' which emphasizes the importance of protecting the earth as a common home from damage caused by irresponsible human actions. The research method used is a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews and literature review. Research informants consisted of STIPAS lecturers, staff and students. This research aims to understand the level of student concern for environmental cleanliness, supporting and inhibiting factors, as well as efforts that can be made to increase this concern based on the principles of Laudato Si'. The research results showed that the informants' environmental awareness increased after studying the concepts in Laudato Si'. Concrete actions such as waste management, energy savings, and participation in environmental activities have been taken. Implementation of Laudato Si' values ​​on campus also results in policy and behavioral changes, such as reducing waste and actively involving students in maintaining a clean environment. The conclusion of this research emphasizes the importance of implementing Laudato Si' values ​​to increase students' environmental awareness, with support from campus policies and cooperation from all parties.

Abstract

Hauteas are branching wooden sticks that are considered sacred by the indigenous people of Timor. This tradition is still carried out by the Nopala tribe as part of traditional rituals that reflect happiness, enthusiasm and unity as brothers. This research was conducted to preserve cultural beliefs, deepen the Catholic faith, and strengthen feelings of brotherhood within the tribe, which has an impact on cultural respect between tribes. The method used is qualitative with a naturalistic descriptive approach. Data was collected through observation and in-depth interviews. The research results show that Hauteas functions as a symbolic language for the Nopala Tribe to express their faith in Allah (Uis Neno). Hauteas symbolizes holiness, divinity, and the existence of the Triune God. The process of planting Hauteas and the rituals surrounding it convey deep religious and social significance, strengthening the spiritual connection of the people with God and their ancestors. Hauteas' presence is also relevant to the development of the Catholic faith, because it is a bridge of understanding between ancestral traditions and Catholic teachings. This research concludes that Hauteas is a heritage of faith that is not only a religious symbol but also a means of deepening relationships between tribal members and increasing cross-cultural respect. Preserving these traditions is important to ensure that the spiritual and cultural meaning of Hauteas remains alive amidst changing times.

Abstract

Crimes committed by certain individuals, such as human trafficking, are a serious problem that needs to be addressed and continuously voiced and solutions sought, because these acts are sins that injure the human person himself and are also sins in front of them. human trafficking reduces the value and dignity of humans who are the face and likeness of God into goods that can be bought and sold. This action directly goes against God, who essentially loves humans and created humans equal to His own face and likeness. The aim of the research is for people to understand that this act of human trafficking already has the spirit of the Old and New Testaments. By understanding that humans are the image of God himself, solutions should be found to overcome the crime of human trafficking. This research uses a qualitative method by means of library research, namely investigating Bible stories, documents, theological books, articles, news related to the problem. The results of this research show that it is necessary to understand humans theologically in order to prevent and overcome cases of human trafficking in several ways, namely: humans as the image and likeness of God, humans were created as social creatures, humans were created not as goods but as individuals. As a follow-up, this research recommends that the government, church and society can make efforts to stop the practice of human trafficking which continues to grow.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the theological meaning of the nggua ceremony, a traditional death ritual practiced by the Liti Pumbu tribe in East Manggarai, and its relevance to Catholic eschatological teachings. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach and ethnographic method, the research explores the local community’s understanding of life after death and the symbolic meanings embedded in the nggua ritual. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving customary leaders and community members. The findings reveal that nggua is understood as a sacred transition of the soul toward eternal life and as an expression of communal faith in salvation and union with God and the ancestors. The ritual centers on pau (customary prayers) and the offering of sacrificial animals, symbolizing hope for heavenly peace and divine light. Although the community does not articulate the concept of eschatology in formal theological terms, they demonstrate a deep spiritual awareness of eternal life. Supporting factors for the preservation of this ritual include the transmission of ancestral values and strong spiritual convictions, while hindering factors involve the low engagement of younger generations and the influence of modernization. This study highlights the importance of inculturating the Catholic faith in local contexts and calls for pastoral and educational strategies that bridge the gap between doctrine and cultural expressions of belief.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the religious experiences of Young Catholich participating in the Stations of the Cross Service in various parishes on the island of Timor. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the meaning, reflection of faith, and internalization of the values ​​of love and sacrifice experienced by participants. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the understanding and experience of young Catholic regarding the Stations of the Cross Service vary significantlyl Some participants were able to interpret the symbols and events of each station reflectively and relevant to their life experiences, meanwhile others participated in the service as a routine without deep understanding. These findings also indicate that the values ​​of love and sacrifice contemplated in the service are beginning to be integrated into daily life, although their application is not yet consistent. This research emphasizes the importance of contextual and participatory pastoral care so that the Stations of the Cross Service can be a means of faith formation for young people.

Abstract

The Church carries out its mission through five fundamental dimensions: koinonia (communion), diakonia (service), liturgia (worship), kerygma (proclamation), and martyria (witness). Among these, martyria occupies a central role as the witness of faith in Christ in the world. This article aims to analyze the theological meaning of the testimony of John the Baptist in John 1:19–28 and its relevance as a paradigm of the Church’s martyria in the contemporary context. The study employs a qualitative method based on a literature review, using a biblical-theological analytical approach to the text of the Gospel of John. The findings indicate that John’s testimony is characterized by an authentic confession of faith, Christological humility, and a total orientation toward Christ as the center of proclamation. These characteristics affirm that the Church’s martyria is not self-centered but focused on the presence of Christ, made visible through a lived witness and authentic proclamation within the context of the contemporary world. Therefore, the testimony of John can serve as a model for the Church in carrying out its mission of martyria today.
