Abstract

Humans are unique creatures, they were created in the image and likeness of God. Humans are also highly noble creatures because humans have the dignity of reason, conscience and the nobility of freedom to preserve God's other creations. Humans are creatures that exist because they have consciousness, through this consciousness humans establish relationships with God, nature and fellow humans. Human life always exists with others because through others each individual can know who he really is. In this togetherness, humans maintain what is considered good in the collective life of society, which is called tradition. In the context of the archipelago, the Dawan people in Timor, East Nusa Tenggara know an oral tradition, namely the Takanab for picking up new priests. Takanab for picking up a new priest is a traditional speech spoken by traditional elders or mavefa (speakers) when picking up a new preist. The fundamental question of this cultural study is why humans should be respected? This research uses qualitative research methods to collect and analyze data. Based on data obtained through literature review and interviews, there are new findings regarding the Takanab tradition of picking up new priest. In the Takanab tradition, it is not only an expression of gratitude to the ancestors and God, but also human dignity is highly upheld. Human dignity in the Takanab tradition of picking up new priests is one of the new variants that needs to be developed and must be supported by government institutions and religious institutions (Catholics) so that there is harmonious inculturation in living together.

Abstract

The Catholic Pencak Silat Tunggal Hati Seminari – Tunggal Hati Maria (THS-THM) is a self-defense training club that serves as a platform for fostering faith and character development among young Indonesian Catholics. Established in Jakarta in 1985, this organization's commitment to cultivating faith and character has extended to numerous dioceses across Indonesia. Functioning as a nurturing space for faith, THS-THM has traditionally drawn inspiration from the Holy Scripture since its inception. However, over time, some local branches at the grassroots level have shifted their focus towards breathing meditation, departing from the traditional reliance on the Holy Scripture. This service activity aims to introduce and train THS-THM members in the distinctive Catholic meditation method of Lectio Divina, emphasizing a connection with the Holy Scripture. The Lectio Divina method comprises four main steps: lectio (reading), meditatio (meditation), oratio (prayer), and contemplatio (contemplation). Through this approach, THS-THM members can attain a profound understanding of their faith and undergo character formation deeply rooted in the Holy Scripture.The implementation of this method involves lectures, question-and-answer sessions, and the sharing of personal experiences. The outcomes of this activity are twofold: firstly, an increased awareness among THS-THM members regarding the significance of the Holy Scripture as a source of spirituality and character development. Secondly, enhancement in the participants' proficiency in practicing the Lectio Divina meditation method.
