Abstract

The background to writing this thesis was complaints from priests, catechists, and the young generation themselves (OMK) about the lack of knowledge and understanding of the younger generation regarding the value of the responsibilities they carry. The aim of writing this thesis is to help the young generation of Catholics (OMK) understand their duties and responsibilities as members of the Church. Apart from that, this research also aims to help pastors understand and recognize the problems faced by young people. In analyzing the problem, the author uses qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. By using this phenomenological approach, the author tries to analyze and interpret the personal experiences of the informants regarding the importance of the value of youth responsibility in the life of the Rantau Pulut Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish church. Data collection in this research used observation, interview and note-taking techniques. In this research, the author found that the majority of young Catholics in the Rantau Pulut Parish have not fully participated in the life of the Church. This is due to a lack of motivation and encouragement from parents and pastors. As the spearhead of youth mobilization, pastoral workers are an important element in support and guidance so that young people are encouraged to participate in Church activities.

Abstract

Dalihan Natolu is the basic philosophy of life for the Toba Batak tribe which is contained in three elements, namely respect, veneration and support. This unity cannot be separated from the life of the Toba Batak tribe. Dalihan Natolu's kinship system, namely somba marhula-hula (respect to uncle's family), manat mardongan tubu (being careful to siblings), and elek marboru (graciousness to our sisters), is a communal foundation that is closely related to each other. Each component in Dalihan Natolu is implemented according to their respective positions and roles. The values that exist in Dalihan Natolu have a correlation with the Catholic faith, namely theological virtues (faith, hope, and love) and cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance).Theological and cardinal virtues are virtues that animate everyone to live Christian morals. Likewise, with the Dalihan Natolu values it can be understood that Christian morals are not just law implementation, but a response to God's call. Everyone's way and pattern of life must be adapted with the teachings of God. Thus, every person from any culture is able to reach the ultimate goal offered by God which is genuine happiness

Abstract

The preparation of this thesis began with the experience and observation of the author who saw and felt for himself various things of concern in catechumenal coaching. Catechumen coaching has not been done optimally, so the results are not optimal. Many catechumens are easily accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church, even though they do not yet have sufficient knowledge and depth of faith. In addition, after being accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church, there is no further formation. Though there are several stages or processes that must be done so that a person has a deep understanding of the Catholic faith before being accepted or baptized. The fault is not with catechumens, but on the part of the Catholic Church itself; Especially catechumens coaches and materials used in coaching. We all expect that a person who is accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church will have a firm faith and dare to bear witness in life.

Abstract

In general, the Catholic Church is based on two spiritual activities, namely the official liturgy and devotions. The difference between the two is more about legality and the place where the activity is carried out in a place that has been officially and sacredly determined, namely the church. Whereas devotion is more flexible and can be carried out anywhere, such as; shrines, churches, or in homes. Devotion is very close to the expression of love for God’s love and including his Son Jesus Christ, the world’s savior who atones for human sins. In imitating the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, there are various opportunities that the Church has provided, so that people can live and reflect and ask themselves, why do we have to be devoted? How to obtain the fruits of devotion? People can learn devotion from the life of a Only Begotten Son of God, who was willing to suffer and be crucified. One of them is Jesus Christ who has a Most Sacred Heart. The church is aware of the importance of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, although many believers still do not understand the value of this devotion, so that from this understanding and motivations emerge in understanding devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, such as devotional practices centered on objects of statues. The people themselves still do not fully understand the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. So form here the author finds the most basic things that can help people in increasing their piety to Jesus Christ in understanding the teachings of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus according to Pope Pius XII. So by understanding the teachings of Pope Pius XII about devotion. People can implement and understand more about devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus that devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is not a burden but a godliness of life and can know His heart which is full of mercy.

Abstract

The writing of this thesis begins with the emergence of the author’s awarenes of the importance of understanding spirits of the Toba Batak culture in harmony with Catholic Theology. The meaning of spirit in Toba Batak culture is often understood both among the Toba Batak people and from other tribes, as a custom of idol worship. Chatolic Theology confirms that the spirit is a divine power that work in every creation, transport in all living things and is active in humans, specifically the Holy Spirit that is bestowed by God in every human being. The existence of the Holy Spirit in human being is a gift fom God himself to support human being to life. The religion and cultural customs are not two things that go in contradictory directions, but they are two features that strengthen each other. The culture is inherent in human existence from birt, and the religion is a way for human being to identify the faith in Jesus Christ himseft. A human being who is cultured and trough the help of the Holy Spirit will be able to experience oneness with God. Thus, the Religion and culture are two characteristics that lead human beings to the equal goal, namely human self-improvement.
