The study examines the theological meaning of the symbols of water, wine, and blood in the Gospel of John and their interrelation within the perspective of Catholic theology. Grounded in John’s distinctive use of symbolism as a medium of revelation, the study treats these three symbols not as isolated narrative elements but as an integrated theological sequence. The study employs a qualitative method, utilizing a literature-based approach and biblical-theological exegesis of key texts. The findings indicate that water signifies the renewal of life originating from divine grace and is closely associated with Baptism; wine expresses joy and abundance within the new covenant, finding its resonance in the Eucharist; while blood marks the culmination of divine love manifested in Christ’s redemptive sacrifice. Together, these symbols form a progressive dynamic of revelation: from renewal, to communion, and ultimately to redemption. In the light of sacramental theology, these symbols not only reveal the identity of Jesus as the incarnate Word but also mediate a concrete experience of faith within the life of the Church. Thus, the Gospel of John demonstrates that God’s salvific work unfolds in an integral and continuous manner, remaining relevant for the contemporary practice of Christian faith.

A qualitative approach and descriptive method are employed in this research. Data is collected through interviews with four parents and four children. The gathered information is analyzed using the "Milles and Hubberman" analysis method, encompassing data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing stages. The research findings indicate that parental efforts to teach prayers to children at St. Joseph's Ampari Bura Dalam Chapel have not yet achieved optimal results. Informants reveal various obstacles in the prayer process, primarily due to parents' busy work schedules that lead to limited time for gathering and effectively teaching prayer. Additionally, parents merely encourage and invite children to pray together or individually, without providing further guidance.

This study aims to offer a model of mentoring the youth learning community in the Santo Gabriel Pulang Pisau Parish. The model is called the Youth Learning Community in assisting youth at Santo Gabriel Pulang Pisau Parish, as a means of cultivating the development of youth faith. This study also describes previous assistance used for mentoring youth at the Santo Gabriel Pulang Pisau Parish. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The research data was obtained using interviews conducted with 4 youths, 1 Senior OMK, 1 Catechist and 1 Priest. The data obtained was analyzed with the benefit of the "Miles" analysis method which was divided into three stages, namely reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that the mentoring program through the pastoral program had not been implemented optimally. This conclusion was based on the statement of one informant who revealed that "the assistance has been running so far, but programmatically through the parish program has not run optimally. Therefore, this research offers a model for youth accompaniment as a pastoral strategy to foster youth faith development.
