THE CURSILLO MOVEMENT: WHAT IS IT?Cursillos In Christainity/ Cursillos De Cristiandad-To all
our cursillistas from surrounding areas: The Cursillo Movement is encouraging a continuation of grouping and attending ultreyas nearest you to practice and live an authentic Christian life and keep the fire burning from the 3- day weekend. Some are being called to be leaders and go out and proclaim the Gospel in their environments and reach out to others and seek their good. Pope Francis tells us in his book, “The Joy of The Gospel” that evangelization is the first and foremost about preaching the Gospel to those who do not know Jesus Christ or who have always rejected him. As Christians we have the duty to proclaim the Gospel without excluding anyone. We as cursillistas need to share our joy and invite others to a delicious banquet. Please support the movement by making a friend, be a friend and bring a friend to Christ. Consider being a sponsor. We are in need of candidates. Please check our website: English Cursillo Movement for The Diocese of Austin, for more information on events happening worldwide. Please contact George Escobedo Sr. if you are interested in attending an Ultreya in Lockhart, Tx or if you need more information about the Cursillo Movement @ church office. The following is excerpted from The Cursillo Movement: What Is It? (2006, The National Secretariat of the Cursillo Movement in the United States):
"To explain Cursillo to someone who has not experienced Cursillo is, at best, difficult. It's not because Cursillo is a secret, but because it is a living experience that one must experience firsthand. No one can fully explain how God touches a person. Christ, through the Cursillo and through His grace, touches the person who is open to a personal relationship with Him in a special way. The Cursillo can help the person in developing a deeper understanding of what it means to be fully Catholic by being fully Christian in order to exercise their mission as baptized individuals." The world [in the mid 20th Century] was in chaos because baptized men were not aware of the potential that the Grace of God gives them to be and live as Christians. Cursillo put its emphasis on being Christian, not on doing Christian things; it opted for an apostolic movement based on the associated strength of friendship. In summary: "The Cursillo Movement consists of proclaiming the best news of the best reality: that God, in Christ, loves us. Communicated by the best means, which is friendship towards the best of each one, which is his being person and his capacity of Conviction, Decision, and Constancy."
