Abstract
ABSTRACT It is arguable that many of today’s Christians do not understand the meaning of the Sunday Mass. This is also the case in Indonesia, where a sizeable number attend Mass regularly, but its deeper meaning is not well known. This article aims to explore that meaning, on the basis of St Ignatius of Antioch’s words, iuxta dominicam viventes. Without ignoring the translation problems which it poses, the present writer approaches this quotation from Ignatius through Gadamer’s hermeneutics, first placing it within the tradition and teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, then discussing its wealth of meaning from the perspective of the context of Christians in Indonesia, in the hope that the points which have meaning for them may be better understood and offered to Christians with similar experience in other places.
