| Abstraksi Narasi | : | We usually speak about Jesus` Passion, his suffering endured between the Last Supper and his death on the cross. The article examines the passions of Jesus, the ardent longings and desires which orientated his life. Jesus` disagreements with his adversaries underline his commitments and his angers show how passionately he could be involved. Not centred on himself, Jesus is turned towards the Father and the ``little ones`` with whom he identifies completely. The first passion of Jesus in the intense love for the FAther to whom he owes inspiration for his words and actions. He is also driven by a determined compassion, at the same time intelligent and blind, towards humankind. This longing leads him till the end, to the ultimate witness of the victory of love over hate manifested in his prayer, ``Father, forgive them``. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | As much as the first Christian communities, the Church is nowadays confronted with the marvellous task of proclaiming the Good News. This proclamation is made in a world in search of humanity and authenticity. Let us keep and enhance the B.C.C., the author urges us, which are privileged places for communication and encounter. They form a social space enabling the christian to commit himself and discover through self knowledge one`s way towards perfection, which generates availability to the others, to the world, to the wholly other. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Saints Paul speaks about being ``fools for the sake of Christ,`` and you can be mad about many things, i.e. carried away by enthusiasm or love. In Church, are we mad about our children? Busy with the problems of ageing communities and dwindling numbers, can the Church of the West still be concerned about the children and young? Being far away from youth is a real impoverishment, as in a home where the young have gone, where the children have left. No more dialogue between generations, no stimulus between age groups. Young people have that impression that religion is something stale and static. It is important to radically renew our way to speak toa and with them. As long as they feel that our way to speak to and with them. As long as they feel that our religion is ready-to-wear, they will say no. What is expected: Opportunities for inter-generation exchanges on life wisdom, creative encounters where young people are invited to renew te language, the rites, the rhythms, the different way of telling and living one`s faith. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | In meeting adolescents, one is today confronted with a paradox. On the one hand, they seem to be disillusioned and tame. One the other hand, thay can also act with enthusiasm and tremendous generosity. Adolescence is par excellence a tome for passion. In a fast changing society and in an economic environment very different from the 60s, adolescents know the great passions which are typical of young people at any time. The article examines more particularly three areas: the idea of time, for to live passionately is to live in the preset and to live fast; the relationship to objests including a eal fascination for the new gadgets; the space dimension with the yearning for far-away places, travel experiences, unknown territories of all kinds. A few dangers and slips are considered. they are constitutive of passion: a certain disorder, imbalance if not anguish. Can Adolescence be conceived without passion? |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | There is a tremendous gap between the expectations of the Church regarding families and the difficulties of day-to-day Christian living. Instead of helping parents in their educational task, many question their ability to transmit the faith. Rather than trust the religious aptitudes of the children, too many catechists play them down. It is high time to radically renew the perspectives of family catechesis. The author makes a few suggestions: in favour of inter-generation catechesis, a catechesis linked to Church life in its various facets. Eventually catechesis depends on people on people who are passionate for what they do. It is an invitation to live the faith in daily life. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | A precise inventory of one hundred uses of the vocabulary of ``diakonia`` (to serve-service-servant) in the entire New Testament sheds light on a number of matters: the context and the primary meaning of this vocabulary, the attitudes which make it possible to ``serve`` in truth, the great themes... The article stresses that the life of Christian communities precedes their reflection on ministries; a distinction must, of course, be made between the ``title`` and the functions of these services. such a distinction reveals a veritable historical evolution in the course of the first century. Is not the same attitude of service also under discussion in a democratic culture? The clear witness to this reality provided by the New Testament is therefore extremely valuable. |
