Abstract

This article analyzes the practice of bese-sono in the Atoni Pah Meto society as a manifestation of love for God, using the theological perspective of Saint Augustine. Employing a qualitative approach, this study utilizes both primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with key informants, including religious leaders, traditional leaders, community leaders, educational leaders, government leaders, and ordinary people (10 in total). Secondary data were gathered through a literature review of sources relevant to the topic. The findings reveal that bese-sono is a manifestation of deep love, where self-sacrifice for the common good becomes a concrete expression of love for God and others. This is demonstrated through social rituals. In this context, Augustine's teachings on love for God provide a theological foundation for understanding the practice of bese-sono as an expression of solidarity that unites members of the community. This is possible because a deep understanding of the values of love can shape a harmonious social life and strengthen relationships among individuals in the broader society. Thus, this study offers a new theological perspective on sacrifice and solidarity in local communities, enriching the field of social theology.

Abstract

Everyone who has been baptized in the Catholic Church is united with thebody of Christ and entitled to the grace of salvation from God. The salvationis God himself who has been communicating in the hidden self of humanbeing. Besides of obtaining salvation, a member of a Church is also obligedto carry out the task and vocation according to the vision and mission of theChurch. Jesus’ command is preaching salvation to all nations, mandated toeveryone who has been obtaining salvation. The laity as members of Christ’sbody is obliged to carry out the tasks mandated by Jesus. It is important for the laity because they are the one who are facing the world in the front line. Laymen have worldliness that stands out because they discharge all the dutiesand professional world. The development of today’s world that gives avariety of choices, challenges and opportunities force the laity in determiningtheir behavior. Positive and negative aspects are mix into one affecting theworld and everyone too. The laity may be affected by the situation of thetimes, but should not forget the basic calling and mission in the world. Thisstudy recast the concept of thinking that leads to practical pastoral action oflaymen in the use of social media communications for vocation and missionin the world. Through the library research, the views and teachings of theCatholic Church is dug to see how a Catholic laymen can carry out theirmission, through social modern communication on the self-communication ofGod in Jesus. In addition, they laity make create communication made byJesus Christ as the plenary communicator as basis for the communicationwith the world through social media communication. Social media communications are diverse and sophisticated these days, that can be a soft tool to beused by the laity in carrying out his mission. However, these media users need togain an understanding and deep concern because in addition to benefits, mediacommunications can also be an obstacle to the proclamation of God's truth. Hence,the laymen have to imitate Jesus’ way of communication as the plenaryCommunicator which is the core of God's self-communication to the creation.
