Dear Cursillistas, “When they saw the star,they rejoiced with great delight. On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:10-11) As the leaves and temperature fall, we find ourselves in the last month of the present liturgical year, 2024. Advent will be upon us before we know it! And then Christmas… We begin to prepare our homes and hearts for the birth of Jesus and look back on the present year, asking ourselves, “What went well and what could be improved?” As Cursillistas, we also ask ourselves, “How did we bring Christ to others and others to Christ? What do our ‘square meters’ look like? How can we make new friends in 2025?” We just had a Day of Reflection/State-wide Ultreya on October 26th at Immaculate Heart of Mary parish in Concord, NH. It went very well and it was great to see some old friends and make new ones. Our day centered on Friendship- How to make new friends, how to draw closer to our best friend- Jesus, and how to bring those friends to Christ, and perhaps to Cursillo. Please check out the link on our website to view the three talks. We are now preparing for our Spring Cursillo weekends which will again be held at Camp Sentinel in Tuftonboro, NH. More details on the weekends tab. Perhaps a New Year’s Resolution of yours could be to invite your friends to live a Cursillo weekend and then, to live the Method of Piety, Study, and Action in their Fourth Day. May those three gifts be our treasure to share with our friends and our Lord and Savior. |
