What is Cursillo?

The Cursillo is both a movement and a method. The purpose of the movement is to create small groups of Christians that will evangelize their environment with the Gospel spirit. The purpose of the method is to help persons to live what is fundamental for being a Christian by committing themselves to the spiritual aids the Church offers in order to grow in Piety, Study, and Action. More information can be found at the National Cursillo Web Site.

Post-weekend comments

THERE WERE 25 NEW CURSISITAS AT MENS WEEKEND#115

 

Witnesses

      Cursillo was the beginning of Life with Christ for me. Before Cursillo, like most people I thought I knew everything. When I made Cursillo#101 in may of 2005, I found out that I really didn't know much.  But Cursillo did supply me with the "tools" to learn it all. These "tools" which we all have are just like all the rest of the "tools" that we posses, if we don't use them they don't work. Cursillo offers a method for us to use these "tools". Having used my "tools"  for four years now I still don't know everything, but, I know a lot more now, than I did back then about living what JESUS CHRIST expects of me. H/T Cursillo Community invites You to realize and maintain your "tools".

Since making my Cursillo 21 years ago, by the grace of God, who chose me to be a Cursillo Leader. I have being going to a process of a change of mind and heart, to reflect the love of Jesus and Mary and bring that love to others. There were many areas the Holy Spirit needed to change and it was to discover my blockage to the love of God. My mind was telling me things that was not true and I am now living in the Will of The Father. All the tools of Cursillo is keeping me focus on the Lord Jesus Christ. I say often remind myself, I know I am not where I want to be and I can now see that I am not where I use to be. Today is sufficent for me. I need to practice all my tools. Piety, Study and Action and Pre-Cursillo, Cursillo and Post Cursillo. It is a life of Grace. I pray that we can all remain in Jesus and Mary.
