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

In the Christian faith, prayer is seen as a relationship between humans and the Divine. Related to this, Christians can find a quintessential example in the person of Jesus Christ himself. As the Son of God, through prayer, Jesus manifested the intimate, intense, and indissoluble union of the three persons of the Triune God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As a human, through prayer, Jesus demonstrated to us how humans should relate to the Divine which shows a close union. Together with Teresa of Avila, we are going to see that relationship between humans and the Divine is a true communion in which interpersonal closeness is possible, as if between close friends.

Abstract

The term "parish" refers to a part of a diocese. According to the 1983 Code of Canon Law (CIC) canon 515, a parish is composed of the following essential elements for its existence: a congregation of Christian faithful, a place of worship where Christians can gather or be found, a territory or area, and a pastor responsible for the parish. Although parishes are generally territorial in nature, if it is considered beneficial, personal parishes may be established, which are determined on the basis of rite, language, nation of the Christian faithful of a particular territory, and also on other grounds (canon 518). In modern times, parishes no longer emphasize territorial areas, but rather emphasize parishes as the Church, the People of God.

Abstract

The apostolicity of the Church is the continuation of Christ's mandate, who from the beginning established the apostles as the successors of His work of salvation in the world. The continuity of the office of apostle becomes Tradition that is preserved as an expression of uninterrupted shepherding. Since the Ancient Church, the Church's hierarchical order has developed to take on a stable form so that today the ordained carry out their mission to serve the people of God. The First Letter of Clement is one of the earliest evidences after the era of the apostles that emphasizes the important role of the community leader who is chosen and appointed specifically in their function and role as part of the members of the Body of Christ.

Abstract

Unity, holiness, catholicity and apostolicity, or in Latin known as Notae Ecclesiae, are formulations of faith regarding the Church, confirming her essential attributes that make the Church the Church. In history, these attributes have made their contributions for the teaching of faith, for the apologetical tasks and, lately, as principles and criteria in doing Catholic theology. Thus, evidently, presenting the Church’s mysteries in their essential aspects, these notae have flexibility to be used as theological instruments in dogmatics, catechesis, apologetics, and even in theological methodology. Seeing these facts, it is hoped that dealing with these marks of the Church there are inspirations for further development for theology and also for the life of the Church.

Abstract

This text wants to show that the idea of unity can be a serious problem in a multicultural society. In a multicultural society, there are many differences that cannot be relativized. In this kind of situation, The Other cannot simply be merged into The One. According to Levinas, there is a long history that shows that The One tries to absolutize itself and eliminate The Other. This condition appears in Platonism and Christianity. Facing this situation, Levinas offers an ethical attitude towards The Other as a willingness to take absolute responsibility. The method used in this research is the metaanalysis method. From this research, we show that in Levinas’s Ideas, the worship of The One is the root of disrespectful attitudes towards The Other in its otherness. From there, this research shows that Levinas’s Idea of responsibility towards The Other which appears in the ethics of the face is an alternative idea to fight the authoritarianism that posibly arise from the idea of unity.

Abstract

True freedom is an important foundation for the Church's call to holiness. True freedom is the fruit of a person's lived experience of knowing God as the highest truth and desiring God as the highest good. Veritatis Splendor, an encyclical by Pope John Paul II on truth and freedom, emphasizes that human freedom does not have an end in itself but is always dependent on divine truth. This is shown in the attitude of obedience to the law of God, which is a manifestation of God's love and wisdom. Conscience plays an important role in human obedience to God because it is there that a person meets God personally. True freedom is then revealed in moral actions in everyday life where each person is called to imitate the act of martyrdom as moral perfection. The encyclical itself states that martyrdomis a prominent example of the Church's holiness.

Abstract

The “Our Father” prayer is one of the most recited prayers for all Christians. The Gospel of Matthew and Luke (Mat 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4) record this prayer as a prayer taught by Jesus himself to his disciples. This article aims at exploring the richness of this prayer by putting more light on its structure and meaning of some important expressions in the prayer. In general, there are six petitions in “Our Father” prayer, divided in two main sections. The first three petitions carry our thoughts toward Our Heavenly Father, for His own sake. The other three remind our necessities. By observing that, the article reveals that this prayer is very deep in meaning to help Christians grow in their devotional and spiritual life. Through its more devotional recitation, Christians would not only pray as a daily routine activity but also could actively grow in its awareness as disciple and in its confession of The Holy Trinity God.

Despite the myriad of positive and negative impacts it generates, technology fundamentally possesses a neutral nature. The Catholic Church, as an institution that shepherds the faith of billions of Catholics worldwide and serves as a moral compass for humanity, also addresses the repercussions brought about by the changes and advancements in technology within this digital age. This paper seeks to explore the essential aspects that need to be championed, the boundaries that must be acknowledged, and the potentials that can be developed to ensure that the application of information technology in the digital era maximizes the development of one's spiritual life.

Abstract

Prayer is an integral part of family life. It helps family to face many problems in society even as the vital cell of society, family needs more prayers. Christian Families, as “ecclesia domestica”, obtain their identity from the Church, the bride of Christ. They have duty to pray because prayer unites them to Christ, the centre of family. Moreover, Christian families as “ecclesia domestica” have the same mission as the Church. Christian families need prayer in their daily lives because, identical to the Church, they pray together as community to invoke the help of God for their families lives. Thus, based on this context, this paper wants to explain how prayers in Christian Families have a significant effect in assisting and protecting them from dangerous ideologies such as secularism that break families in modern society.

Abstract

This article wants to explore the historical and doctrinal basis for the practice of praying through the intercession of saints, which is commonly found in the Catholic Church. For that purpose, it will study the historical context of its origin and its doctrinal basis originating from the documents of councils. From the study of these sources, it is hoped that we can find the authentic spirit behind the practice of supplicating prayer through the intercession of saints. It is also hoped that, with a proper understanding of its history in the Church and the Church teaching on it, abuse can be avoided, and correct practice found support. For this reason, the discussion will be maintained by a study on the historical context of the practice and of the development of the doctrine found in the Magisterium of the councils. Yet the general theological framework of the Second Vatican Council will be presented first, so that the theological vision of the theme in the modern era could be placed as our basic understanding. But as it is also necessary to present the historical background of this practice, the discussion should also be supplied with this historical background. With this background, it is hoped that the idea of the teachings outlined by the councils, from the beginning up to the Second Vatican Council, can be better understood.
