Core Subject : Religion,
Lux et Sal berarti terang dan garam. Metafora terang dan garam digunakan oleh Yesus untuk menggambarkan tugas dan perutusan para murid-Nya (bdk. Mat 5:13-16). Para murid yang telah menerima terang firman Allah dipanggil untuk memancarkannya kepada lingkungan sekitarnya. Dan sebagaimana garam “membantu” makanan menjadi lezat, demikianlah para murid Yesus senantiasa membantu orang lain. Jurnal Lux et Sal merupakan salah satu upaya Institutum Theologicum Ioannis Mariae Vianney Surabayanum untuk memenuhi panggilan sebagai terang dan garam dunia itu. Mereka yang “melihat terang” dan “menerima garam” berkat penelitian dalam bidang teologi, seperti teologi sumber, teologi sistematis, dan teologi praktis, mencoba membagikan terang itu dalam rupa refleksi teologis dalam jurnal ini.

Abstract

Some outstanding missionaries from Methodist Church of the end of 19th century-early 20th century expressed that prayer and mission are closely intertwined. Their experiences in mission area showed that prayer is the most needed, though it does not mean that everything which sustain mission activities are unimportant. Two patrons of mission in the Catholic Church expressed similar opinion that prayer is the most important dimension in mission because prayer touches the heart of people more effectively. In his mission Jesus was intensely aware of the importance of prayer as he offered a prayer before choosing his disciples, at the beginning of his work, during his work, before his suffering and his death. Jesus had offered a prayer before his activities in mission because he was aware that he is the messenger of God. In other word Jesus was aware that his mission was God’s mission-Abba’s mission, and his identity was a messenger of God’s/Abba’s Kingdom. The awareness of Jesus identity and the close relationship with his father in prayer are the mode of our mission. Seeing the attitude of Jesus in doing mission one could conclude that prayer plays a pivotal role in mission and the goal of mission is to share the Kingdom of God the Father.

Abstract

Indulgences and the Jubilee Year hold a close connection within the traditions of the Catholic Church. The Jubilee Year is a special period in the Church's calendar, typically celebrated every 25 years, although the Pope may declare an extraordinary Jubilee for significant occasions. During the Jubilee Year, Catholics are invited to engage in repentance, spiritual renewal, and receive special indulgences. An indulgence itself is the remission of temporal punishment due to sins that have already been forgiven. By obtaining an indulgence, an individual may be freed from part or all of the punishment still owed in this world or in purgatory. Historically, the Jubilee Year has been a sacred time for receiving God's abundant grace, with the indulgences granted during this period serving to strengthen the faithful in their spiritual journey, emphasizing repentance and affirming their faith in God's mercy. In the upcoming Jubilee Year of 2025, as outlined in the Bull Spes Non Confundit, indulgences will once again play a significant role, encouraging the faithful to partake in the grace offered by the Church in an atmosphere of renewed faith.

Abstract

Although Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae is a theological treatise, its approach is fundamentally philosophical, as it employs the dialectical method of Plato and applies the principles of Aristotelian syllogistic logic. A renewed examination of Aquinas' thoughts on Hope, as one of the three Theological Virtues in Summa Theologiae, illuminated by Robert Spitzer's explanation of the various levels of happiness, emphasizes that the fullness of human life, particularly when reaching the highest level of happiness, lies in the relationship with the Transcendentals: Goodness, Beauty, and Love. This implies the necessity of self-transcendence for the realization of a truly fulfilled human existence.

Abstract

Pope Francis has proclaimed 2025 as a Jubilee Year, highlighting a profound message of hope, especially amidst the pressing challenges confronting the modern world. The Holy Father invites the faithful to anticipate the good things to come. To better understand its significance, this article aims to explore the biblical roots of the Jubilee Year. The first section examines the possible origins of the Jubilee Year within Jewish tradition. The subsequent section focuses on the specific regulations of the Jubilee Year as outlined in the Book of Leviticus and considers the feasibility of its implementation. It is suggested that the Jubilee Year may not have been fully realizable for the Israelites. Ultimately, Jesus is presented as the one who fulfills the essence of the Jubilee Year.

Abstract

Every religion has a duty and vocation to contribute to the common good. This duty and vocation is lived through a way of life that is not separated from the context of people's lives. Religion that exists in this way is able to bring hope to the world. Jürgen Moltmann reflects on this religious duty and vocation with the idea of a theology of hope. Hope is based on the idea of eschatology. Moltmann asserts that God is involved in the history of the world. The center of hope is the crucified God, a God who is involved in and sympathetic to the concerns of humanity. Moltmann then emphasized that the Church needs to always present a messianic, relational, and populist side. Moltmann's idea of hope can be one of the inspirations in reflecting on the call of Pope Francis during his visit to Indonesia and to reflect on the Ordinary Jubilee Year 2025. The Church in Indonesia needs to grow by faithfully encountering the people, being inculturated, and having a macro view of life together.

Abstract

Pope Francis has declared 2025 as an Ordinary Jubilee Year with the theme Pilgrims of Hope (Peregrinantes in Spem). Amid a world grappling with various crises that threaten humanity and the natural environment, the Pope emphasizes the importance of hope, asserting that Christian hope never disappoints. This hope is not mere optimism or a denial of suffering and death but a virtue rooted in faith and realized through acts of love. In the tradition of Western philosophy, hope has also been a significant topic explored by Gabriel Marcel, a French philosopher, playwright, and music critic. This article seeks to uncover the strong correlation between Marcel’s philosophical reflections and Pope Francis’s magisterial teachings on hope. For Marcel, hope is fundamentally an inner drive that motivates and emboldens individuals to respond to the ontological exigencies of their existence, even while inhabiting a "broken world" that seeks to alienate humans from themselves, others, the world, and God. For Pope Francis, hope is a call of faith to seek and realize the common good, including care for creation, amidst the multifaceted crises of humanity and the environment. By comparing key ideas, this article identifies a shared vision of Pilgrims of Hope in these two perspectives.

Abstract

Each individual in every age lives with a perpetual hope for the realization of justice or iustitia in this world, because justice is closely related to relations between humans. The purpose of the law itself is to realize the hope for justice so that humans can live in brotherhood with harmony. However, the application of rigid laws may cause injustice. This article attempts to deepen the understanding of justice as a virtue supported by other virtues: misericordia, caritas, aequitas and veritas. The balancing elements and pointers towards true justice, as the hope of all humans, especially in this Jubilee Year.

Abstract

The Jubilee Year 2025, proclaimed by Pope Francis, carries the theme Spes Non Confundit, inspired by Romans 5:5. This paper examines the pastoral letter of the Diocese of Surabaya as a guide for Catholics in embracing the Jubilee’s spirit. The letter highlights repentance, mercy, and forgiveness as key to becoming a Jubilee Person. Through biblical, historical, juridical, and practical perspectives, this study explores how the Jubilee fosters faith renewal and Christian commitment. The paper discusses the biblical roots of the Jubilee in Leviticus 25 and its fulfillment in Christ’s proclamation of the Year of the Lord’s Favor (Luke 4:16-21). It also traces the Jubilee’s history in the Catholic Church, from its first proclamation in 1300 to its evolving theological and pastoral role. The juridical aspects of indulgences, their link to the Jubilee, and their regulation in canon law are also examined. The pastoral letter emphasizes the Jubilee’s practical aspects, including pilgrimage, sacramental reconciliation, Eucharistic participation, and prayer for the Pope’s intentions. It also promotes ecological conversion, urging Catholics to care for creation as an act of faith. Ultimately, becoming a Jubilee Person means living in faith through acts of mercy, reconciliation, and hope. The pastoral letter calls Catholics in the Diocese of Surabaya to embody these values by deepening their spiritual life, practicing justice, and showing compassion in daily actions, making the Jubilee a true moment of renewal and transformation.

Abstract

This study examines the role of liturgy in fostering hope and liberation within the Catholic faith, inspired by Romano Guardini’s The Spirit of the Liturgy. Liturgy is often misunderstood in two extremes: as rigid rules that restrict spiritual freedom or as a celebration devoid of structure. This research aims to explore liturgy as a "sacred play" that harmonizes order and freedom, seriousness and joy, structure and spiritual expression. The study employs a qualitative approach with a literature review method, analyzing primary theological texts, including Guardini’s work, official Church documents, and contemporary scholarly discussions on liturgical theology. Data collection involves textual analysis of liturgical norms, theological interpretations, and historical developments in liturgical praxis. The study applies a categorical framework—Necessary and Unnecessary, Proper and Improper, Fitting and Unfitting—to evaluate how liturgy shapes spiritual liberation and eschatological hope. Findings reveal that true liturgical freedom is not the absence of rules but the structured encounter with God that liberates believers from worldly constraints. The study highlights the eschatological dimension of the liturgy, wherein each Eucharistic celebration not only commemorates past salvation but also anticipates the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom. Pastoral implications emphasize the need for proper liturgical education, the role of clergy and lay ministers in preserving the sacredness of the celebration, and the importance of maintaining liturgical beauty and reverence to deepen the faithful’s spiritual experience. The study concludes that a richer understanding of liturgy allows believers to participate in the celebration not as a mere obligation but as a transformative encounter with God, leading to authentic hope and liberation in Christ.

Abstract

Jubilee year and mission have a closely interwind relationship. The very core of mission is God’s salvific plan which is His desires to restore humanity in His likeness. To accomplish this mission, God sent prophets to proclaim His word; the Israelites to bring blessings to all nations, and ultimately, His only son to redeem the world. God has used many ways to save humanity. One of these is noted in Spes non Confundit, the Bull of Indiction by Pope Francis, No. 10 “This is an ancient appeal, one drawn from the word of God, whose wisdom remains ever timely. It calls for acts of clemency and liberation that enable new beginnings: “You shall hallow the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants” (Lev 25:10) This Mosaic law, was later echoed by the Prophet of Isaiah, “The Lord has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour” (Is 61:1-2). This passage from Isaiah was then proclaimed by Jesus at the beginning of His ministry. From this exploration, one can say that mission is the restoration of humanity to God’s likeness through the proclamation of freedom for captives, recovery of sight for the blind, and liberation for the oppressed-just as in the jubilee year.
