Tak seorang pun siap ketika Covid-19 datang. Reaksi manusia: gagap, panik, marah, atau tak berdaya. Berbeda dari bencana lain, wabah ini tidak kasat mata dan menyasar siapa pun. Tak ada yang bisa memprediksi sampai kapan. Seluruh kecanggihan pertahanan manusia melawan aneka bencana selama ini, tidak berdaya. Tanpa disadari, wabah ini membuka kerapuhan manusia yang selama ini tertutupi oleh keangkuhannya dengan segala capaiannya. Seolah manusia harus mengikuti tuntutan Covid-19. Di seluruh dunia, dengan rasa cemas manusia mengubah pola hidup, cara berelasi, cara bekerja, cara berorganisasi, dan seterusnya. Agama yang biasa menjadi pembawa damai dan keakraban kini kehilangan tajinya. Semua pra...
Kita hidup di masyarakat yang bergerak dan berubah cepat. Kadangkala keras penuh persaingan. Manusia terbawa oleh pola hidup penuh kesibukan yang melelahkan. Tanpa disadari dimensi transendental manusia ikut tergerus oleh hiruk pikuk kebisingan masyarakat sekular ini. Stamina batin kita sering tertatih-tatih mengimbangi dinamika gerak fisik kita. Agama yang mestinya menjadi oase rohani, seringkali justru menjadi bagian dari persoalan. Repotnya, keterlibatan di dunia masih sering dianggap sebagai hambatan kesatuan manusia dengan Yang Ilahi. Tetapi misi dan tanggung jawab utama manusia, terutama kaum awam, ialah justru terlibat di dunia ini. Dalam iman kristiani, dunia yang berwajah multi-komp...
Walking with Ignatius is a celebration of 500 years of the Society of Jesus, as seen through the eyes of its first Latin American Father General, Arturo Sosa. Comprised of interviews with Father General conducted over a period of two years by Dario Menor, Walking with Ignatius retraces the inner tension both personal and communal that defines the quest for meaning over the ages: from the time when St Ignatius begged for alms to sustain his studies to a world transformed by globalisation. Menors questions reflect the spirit of the Ignatian practice of discernment: unafraid to ask questions and to face up to the challenges of the present, Menor and Sosa engage in a spiritual conver...

Tumbuh berkembangnya panggilan dalam diri seseorang sangat bergantung pada relasi personalnya dengan Allah yang memanggil. Relasi spiritual ini hanya tumbuh lewat latihan terus-menerus dan tidak pernah berakhir, terutama lewat latihan rohani. Di sinilah kita akan mengalami berbagai tegangan dan pergulatan. Tetapi jatuh bangun ini hanya mau menegaskan bahwa panggilan hanya akan berkembang dan berbuah berkat Rahmat Allah, bukan karena kehebatan manusia. Kita harus bersyukur karena Allah selalu berkenan berkarya dalam dan lewat kerapuhan manusiawi kita. Maka di dalam kepahitan pun selalu ada makna yang mendewasakan kita sebagai murid Yesus, karena Allah ada di sana. Berbagai latihan rohani antara lain dimaksudkan untuk membangun disposisi hati dan jiwa untuk bisa terbuka dan mengintegrasikan makna spiritual dari pengalaman itu ke dalam perjalanan hidup kita sebagai murid Yesus.

"This is a splendid book that dispels myths about ′identity′ and presents a cultural-materialist case for the study of such keywords and their preoccupations under the hegemony of neoliberal capitalism." - Professor Jim McGuigan, Loughborough University ′Identity’, particularly as it is elaborated in the associated categories of ‘personal’ and ‘social’ identity, is a relatively novel concept in western thought, politics and culture. The explosion of interest in the notion of identity across popular, political and academic domains of practice since the 1960s does not represent the simple popularisation of an older term, as is widely assumed, but rather, the invention of an ide...
