3. Leader’s Prayer
† Lord grant that we may understand the necessity for depth in our
Movement, rather than surface glory. Convince us of the truth that
colorful programs do not constitute success.
† My God, give us a spirit of self sacrifice so that we may offer
everything for Your cause: our time, our abilities, our health and
even our lives if necessary. Instill in us courage in our
initiatives, good judgment in our choice of the right means, and
that determination, which in spite of failures, assures victory.
† Move away from us the tiny
rivalries, sensitivities, discourtesies, pride, everything which
distracts from You, everything which divides or discourages.

4. Leader’s Prayer con’t
† Help us to maintain at a high level, a meaningful supernatural and
mutual charity among ourselves, so that each one will seek by
preference, the most humble task and will rejoice at the good
performed by others, so that all our spirits, united in a common
purpose, will have one single spirit, Yours Jesus, and that this spirit
may let us see Your attractive goodness marked in all our faces,
Your warm accents in all our words, and in our lives something
superior to the world, something that proclaims Your Living
Presence among us. Amen
† Our Lady of Guadelupe, Patron of the Americas, Pray for US.
† St Paul, Patron of the Cursillo, Pray for US.

one liners, the takeaways from each of the lay rollos given on
a weekend

4 months; but our goal today is to approve/modify the
themes

12. Summary
† Rollo themes (as amended) will be provided through Cursillo
chair to next team as part of their packet
† Believe that we should make it a requirement for the SoL to
brief all the rollistas on the Rollo themes on a recurring basis
in the future.
– Probably during the first team meeting
– Thoughts??

16. Closing Prayer
† Dear Lord, we must have fraternal charity, or we can accomplish
nothing for you.
† In loving you, help us to have a genuine concern for one another, a
generosity in sharing one another’s burdens, a gallantry in
defending the reputation of our group, a sincere sympathy in
sharing one another’s suffering and sorrows, and a joy in sharing
their spiritual growth.
† By this shall all men know that we are your Apostles. Amen.
