Abstract

This article aims to dialogue the concept of divinity in Manggarai, Indonesia, with the teachings of the Catholic Church. The concept of God in the Manggarai community has some similarities with the doctrine of God in the Catholic Church, that is, concerning the acknowledgment of God’s existence, involvement, and care. However, there are also matters that are quite different and that are not found in each respective context. On the one hand, the similarities can help those involved in catechesis with fresh understandings. On the other hand, the differences may enrich the outlook into knowledge about the concept of divinity, both in the context of living the Church’s teachings as well as in the context of being member of the cultural community. The results of the dialogue as explored in this article open the possibilities to help decrease the practices of syncretism on matters of faith in the Manggarai Catholic community. The approaches used by the authors to trace the concept of divinity in the two contexts are mainly qualitative with ethnographic and documentation methods. The findings are a mainstay for pastoral agents in determining certain themes for catechesis, especially those related to the concept of Godhead.

Abstract

Death is constantly frightening, even for the believers. It is an event where people mourn as they grieve the permanent loss of their loved ones. It often causes irrational judgments, and destroys the harmony within a family. Some Christians still find it difficult to accept. The Church’s teachings address the event of death as part of the believer’s reality. Death is seen as the culmination of transformative experience in Christian life and faith, so that news on someone’s death is not regarded as an event of destruction, but rather an experience of faith. This article offers an interpretation that death is not seen as merely ‘death’ from human perspective, but a passage towards a mystical and aesthetic point of view which illustrates a sign of God’s calling to humans to enter the beauty and union with God.

Abstract

In the midst of the busy world and various other problems in life such as the pandemic that seems endless, people tend to feel bored, afraid, and depressed. Prayer as a means of communication with God is one of the simple ways in which the believers can find help and comfort. Prayer becomes a spiritual activity that has the potential to raise the mood, to contribute a sense of peace, optimism, and courage. However, even among the Christians not everyone knows how to pray. One might need a spiritual director, one of whose duties is to guide the faithful in prayer. One can be a guide in prayer if he or she is experienced and really passionate about faith. The most important model in the Christian prayer life is Jesus himself. According to the Gospels, his life is filled with prayer activities at all times and in various places, and his life can be seen as a ‘prayer’ as it is always directed to God, his Father. Jesus gives a beautiful prayer that becomes a model of all prayers, namely the “Our Father”. This article spiritually explores how Jesus teaches his disciples to pray from a practical point of view. With his “Our Father” Jesus teaches how to pray properly and correctly from particular aspects, one of which is to whom one should pray and what things one should ask for in prayer. By way of this exploration, one can learn that Jesus is “a master of prayer” to learn from to pray better.

Abstract

In his encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis invites everyone to move beyond his or her own world and open to others in the pursuit of universal fraternity and social friendship. However, the seeds of division are also growing in the Church’s internal environment today. In the life of the Church, there have been rifts in various levels of fraternal relation, which is often triggered by the tendency of some members in prioritising personal or group interests. This tendency can create barriers that hinder the growth and the development of healthy relationships in Christian life and may affect the pastoral care in the field. This article responds to these problems by offering some models to (re)build the fraternity in the Church by delving into the spirituality inspired by Fratelli Tutti. The models bring forward themes like generosity without borders, all-embracing dialogue, and new encounters. From their methodological characters, these models are basically flexible, open to interpretation according to the contextual challenges, and complement to each other. The approaches of these models are intended to realise the spirituality of fraternity from among the Church members.

Abstract

Communication is a necessity for everyone. Christian families also need ways of communication to be practiced in the small community. Husband and wife, parents and children, are the parties directly involved in family communication. However, family members may tend to ignore problems in the daily activities of the family, while each member has a responsibility to solve them by means of appropriate communication. Family members need to work together to build communication that is appropriate for their respective situations. Communication can be seen as an art learned by the families in good times, but also a practical way to face trouble. This article proposes three models, that is, realistic, spiritual, and imaginative communication models that may inspire families to practice communication in the light of Christian spirituality. These models invite family members to speak more honestly, recommend particular topics to fill their conversations by bringing up the spiritual aspect, and relate their personal hopes with God’s will. Through the models of communication, family members can practice spiritual and realistic communication in their small Christian community and together experience growth in their life of faith.

Abstract

The longing of every sinner is to return to the right path. A sinner wants forgiveness and mercy. In the spiritual context, drug addiction is a form of sin that destroys human relationship with God. Drug addicts are victims of human failure to control their desires and thus they suffer and lose their dignity. To return to normal life and regain his or her dignity, a drug addict must follow a rehabilitation process. A therapeutic community for drug addicts is a rehabilitation model that involves the role of others in the recovery process. The atmosphere of community life, fraternity, and togetherness is built in this community so that each person can feel wholeness as dignified and loving human being. A therapeutic community needs a model of spirituality to achieve the aspired values. This article explores the parable of Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 to inspire a model of spirituality that can be used in a rehabilitation community for drug addicts, namely, the spirituality of compassion and mercy. In the spirituality of compassion and mercy, a drug addict is readmitted to the community to restore his or her dignity.

Abstract

There are many people with different abilities who live in injustice. In Indonesia, during the COVID-19 pandemic acts of violence and exploitation have been reported by Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA) stating 110 cases of violence against children with different abilities. KPPPA mentions several types of vulnerabilities experienced by children during the Covid-19 pandemic. Children who lost their parents because of Covid-19 have been exploited by their families for economic benefits. Other cases surface from the stigma that being different they are vulnerable to being scolded or treated with violence and mislabeled as second-class persons. Injustice is also caused by the lack of opportunities and knowledge in the society. The Church respects human dignity based on the Creation in the Scriptures, when “God saw everything that He had made and it was very good” (Gen.1:31). Jean Vanier in his theology of incarnation says that in their weakness, people with different abilities receive the grace of God’s presence. The Church affirms to protect them and to prohibit others patronising those with “different abilities” as well as invites everyone to care by recognising human rights and dignity.

From ‘Christification’ to Mission of Salvation: Impact of Damascus Event on Saint Paul Hidayat, Elvin Atmaja

Abstract

Saint Paul is one of the most important apostles in Christianity. The mission of evangelism he carried out was fruitful in various parts of the world. Paul’s missionary journey brought great risks to himself through the challenges and the sufferings, while he was also previously known as a persecutor of Christ’s followers. His radical change or conversion occurred since his spiritual encounter with the Lord Jesus on his journey to Damascus. This article explores the impact of the unforgettable encounter that brings to Paul more admiration and love for Christ, that also brings an extraordinary mystical experience of ‘christification’, an experience of becoming more and more alike and united with the Christ. The Damascus event and the christification open the divine revelation of human salvation. As a Jew, Paul recognises that salvation is obtained by obeying the law, but now he believes that only the risen Jesus Christ is able to save humankind. Paul’s christification brings direct implications to his courage in becoming a follower of Christ with a burning passion to proclaim the Gospel to all nations. God’s choice for an apostle is unfathomable, even for Paul himself who considers himself as the most sinful and unworthy person.
