CURSILLO #152

To my dear brothers and sisters in Christ:

De Colores! WOW! Cursillo #152 is approaching rapidly! I, as have 151 rectors before me, been praying that God would lead me – lead #152 – in a powerful way towards whatever He has planned for the weekend. That we will be empowered by The Holy Spirit, filled with the wisdom of God, and show the love of Christ to those who will be in attendance. That the weekend will work to give honor, glory and praise to The Holy Trinity and to grow the Kingdom. WOW!

The team for Cursillo #152 is preparing – has been preparing – to serve on the weekend of June 26 – 29. We feel that we are, and have been, chosen to serve God by serving others. Surely we were not qualified when we were chosen to serve on this God-team! It is with willing hearts and obedient bodies that we feel so blessed to have been chosen and know that God WILL be served by the servants on 152 as well as all of you in the Cursillo community who sacrifice in so many ways to make a Cursillo weekend happen.

We know that God works good for those who love Him. We also have the assurance that we are heirs, through hope, of all He has promised us. “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jer. 9:11). Hope is my favorite word and so many times in the Bible we are told of the hope that belief in God brings. How He can turn mourning into joy. How everything that God made is good. How He can use everything for good. God IS good ALL the time and ALL the time God IS good! WOW!

Thank you ALL for your palanca in all forms, the sacrifices made for us and for the participants, for the witness each of you are in the lives you touch daily. I feel sure the participants will be overwhelmed with the love showered upon them. Please continue to support each new Cursillista as they join the Fourth Day Community and encourage them to join a Reunion Group. Please plan on participating in the celebration that is the Diocesan Ultreya on July 12th. WOW!

The Lord is my inheritance; therefore I will hope in Him! (Lam 3:24)

God’s peace and abundant blessings!
