  • Nun Offers Lifeline to Refugees Who Fled Timor Leste
    Nun offers lifeline to refugees who fled Timor Leste Former refugees of Timor Leste share in the life-giving love of Indonesian nun Nun offers lifeline to refugees who fled Timor Leste. Holy Spirit Sister Sisilia Ketut together with a group of women to whom she loaned money to start small businesses in Atambua, western Timor. (ucanews.com photo) Rostiana Bareto, 49, experienced tough living conditions as a refugee when she and her family settled in Atambua, western Timor, on the border with Indonesia. Despite the fundamental challenge of making ends meet, she and her husband decided to stay and avoid the political instability back home. More than 250,000 people fled Timor Leste or were forcibly transferred west following violence that escalated around an independence referendum, Aug. 30, 1999. The initial attacks on civilians by anti-independence militants expanded to general violence throughout the country. Many returned to Timor Leste after the declaration of independence in 2002. But some 100,000 people chose to continue their lives in East Nusa Tenggara province, including 60,000 people in Belu regency. Since her arrival, Bareto, now widowed, has not received any assistance from the government, causing great frustration for her family and many others living in similar conditions. Their lives began to change when they met Holy Spirit Sister Sesilia Ketut, 59. Seven years ago the nun gave Bareto some money to start her own cloth-weaving business. Working in a group of widows she learned to weave and cook, and make bags, rosaries, flowers and wallets, which were then sold to markets.

  • St. Maria Ratu Rosario Sebagai Bintang Misi-Evangelisasi Di Nusa Tenggara
    ST. MARIA RATU ROSARIO SEBAGAI BINTANG MISI-EVANGELISASI DI NUSA TENGGARA Kristoforus Bala SVD Pendahuluan Karya keselamatan tidak bisa dipisahkan dari inisiatif Allah Tritunggal dan jawaban “ya” St. Maria terhadap tawaran Allah. Kabar Gembira (euangelion) yang diwahyukan Allah kepada umat manusia selama berabad- abad melalui para nabi telah mencapai pemenuhannya dalam diri Yesus. Oleh kuasa Roh Kudus, Sabda Allah menjadi manusia. Dia dikandung dan dilahirkan oleh St. Perawan Maria. Dia membesarkan dan menyertai Yesus dalam karya misiNya sampai Dia wafat pada salib. St. Maria layak disebut adalah tokoh evangelisasi pertama karena dia yang menghadirkan dan mewartakan Yesus, Sang Sabda ke dalam dunia. Setelah kematian Yesus, St. Maria hidup bersama para Rasul dan berdoa bersama Gereja Perdana menantikan pencurahan Roh Kudus. Maria menyertai Gereja Perdana dan menyaksikan dimulainya karya misi-evangelisasi ke seluruh dunia. Karena itu Paus Paulus VI1 dan Paus Fransiskus 2 menyebut St. Maria Bintang Evangelisasi. Paus Yohanes Paulus II juga mengatakan bahwa sejak dikandung tanpa noda dosa, St. Maria adalah “Stella Matutina”3 (Bintang Fajar atau Bintang Timur) yang selalu terbit mendahului terbitnya matahari. Maria lebih dahulu mempersiapkan jalan bagi kedatangan Yesus dalam sejarah umat manusia dan terus menyertai Gereja Puteranya.
