Abstract

This article specifically examines and deepens the story of John the Baptist in Matthew 3:1-12. This text was chosen to examine more specifically how the story of effect or Wirkungsgeschichte of the text affects the Church's liturgy, particularly to examine the meaning of baptism and the vow of poverty in religious life. Often in reading Scripture, readers have difficulty grasping the implied meaning of a text. Therefore, the task of the exegete is to provide an interpretation for the needs of teaching faith. This article was written with the aim of finding the implied meaning of the text as part of the exegetical task to help readers discover and understand the meaning of the text that is familiar in the life of the faith of the people. The method used in this paper is text analysis based on the commonly used hermeneutic approach to Scripture. The novelty in this article is a new understanding of the meaning of baptism as a new birth. The new birth is not just an empty phrase or slogan, but baptism is a transition from the old life to a new life, namely as children of God. As a concrete expression of the new birth, it is repentance to produce good fruit, namely the values ​​of the Kingdom of God. In addition, this story also provides deep inspiration regarding the meaning of the Vow of Poverty in religious life through the simplicity of John the Baptist's life.

Abstract

This article presents a hermeneutical analysis of Mark 12:41–44 and its parallel in Luke 21:1–4, focusing on the figure of the poor widow within her narrative, socio-historical, and theological contexts. Departing from moralistic interpretations that frame the widow primarily as an exemplar of personal piety or sacrificial generosity, the study argues that the pericope functions as a narrative critique of systemic religious injustice. The methodology combines narrative criticism with historical-social analysis and engages critical perspectives drawn from feminist, social, political, and liberation theology. Particular attention is given to the literary placement of the pericope in Mark’s Gospel and its relationship to Jesus’ critique of scribes and temple-based authority. The analysis demonstrates that the widow operates as a symbolic figure whose offering simultaneously expresses radical trust in God and exposes a religious system sustained by the exploitation of the poor. The article contends that the text does not legitimize self-impoverishment but implicitly challenges structures that normalize such vulnerability. This reading highlights the prophetic dimension of the pericope and its relevance for contemporary ecclesial reflection on faith, justice, and institutional responsibility in contexts of social inequality.

Abstract

Throughout His life, Jesus performed many miracles. One of the compelling miracle stories is the multiplication of the loaves, as found in the Gospel of Mark 8:1-9, where Jesus fed 4,000 people. Jesus' actions in this story are often associated with the Eucharistic Liturgy. This narrative is intriguing because, although frequently considered a duplicate of the feeding of the five thousand (Mark 6:30-44), this pericope possesses significant terminological and theological differences from the Mark 6 account regarding the Eucharistic Action itself. This paper aims to analyze the story of Jesus feeding the four thousand in Mark 8:1-9 to explore the biblical foundation of the Sacrament of the Eucharist. This research seeks to provide an analysis of whether the narrative of Mark 8:1-9 truly represents a Eucharistic action performed by Jesus for the first time, or is merely a story retold by the evangelist. Through textual-narrative, social, and Jewish tradition approaches, the author finds that Mark 8:1-9 more specifically reflects the liturgical practices of the early church. This is evident from the use of the verb eucharistēsas (giving thanks) in chapter 8, which differs from the word eulogēsen (blessing) used in Mark 6:30-44.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the passage of Mark 4:35–41 (Jesus Calming the Storm) using narrative hermeneutics, socio-historical analysis, and Wirkungsgeschichte(reception history) to uncover the dynamics of faith and fear within the human experience. This pericope is understood not merely as a report of a nature miracle, but as a theological narrative intentionally constructed by Mark to shape the faith of the disciples and the reader’s community amidst crisis. The textual-narrative analysis reveals a structural movement from stillness to chaos and back to silence, mirroring the existential dynamics of humans when faith is tested by tangible threats. The disciples' fear is characterized as not only emotional but primarily relational and existential—a crisis of trust regarding the perceived indifference of a "silent" God. Jesus’ sleep during the storm is interpreted as Mark’s theological strategy to challenge instrumental faith and direct the reader toward a mature faith. In its socio-historical context, the passage reflects the experiences of the Markan community, which faced political pressure and persecution in the first century. Through the lens of Wirkungsgeschichte, this study demonstrates how the text continues to function within Church tradition as a source of spiritual formation, consolation, and existential courage. The primary conclusion asserts that Christian faith does not eliminate fear but transforms it through the presence of Christ in the midst of life’s "storms."

Abstract

This paper examines the development of the concept of liturgy in the Catholic Church by analyzing the relationship between its normative and theological dimensions. Using a literature review methodology, the study traces a paradigm shift from a predominantly normative understanding of liturgy toward a more explicitly theological interpretation. The normative concept understands liturgy primarily as a set of officially regulated, communal ritual actions through which the Church offers worship to God; this perspective was formally articulated in the Codex Iuris Canonici. In contrast, the theological understanding, which emerged through the liturgical movement and was articulated authoritatively in the encyclical Mediator Dei, conceives liturgy as the salvific action of Christ carried out in and through His Church. This theological paradigm finds its conciliar expression in Sacrosanctum Concilium and is further reinforced by the apostolic letter Desiderio Desideravi, particularly through its emphasis on the celebration of the Paschal Mystery as the heart of the liturgy. The paper argues that this theological emphasis does not replace or marginalize the normative dimension. Rather, subsequent canonical legislation rearticulates theological insights within juridical formulations, integrating both interior participation and external ritual order. The study concludes that the normative and theological concepts of liturgy are not mutually exclusive but must be understood as complementary and interdependent within Catholic liturgical theology and practice.
