Please continue to pray for the all Cursillistas who are well into their 4 ^th day and for the outstanding efforts of the team and sponsors for continued success of our community. I offer the following, St Augustine, prayer to cursillos both past and future.  
“Look on us lord, and let all the darkness of our souls disappear before the beams of your brightness. Fill us with your holy love, and open to us the treasures of your wisdom. We seek your face, turn your face to us and show us your glory. Then our longing will be satisfied and our peace will be complete.”
 

The 4th  day- All days following the 3-day retreat to Be a friend, make a friend and bring a friend to Christ. Together we can vertebrae Christianity in our environments.

The Fourth Day “Living the dream” - this is the Cursillistas living in Christ following the 3 day Cursillo retreat. This space is reserved for the entire Diocese Cursillo community to share your “Living the dream” experience, where has cursillo led you! Send “DREAMS” to yesectreasurer@gmail.com
