This document summarizes J.C. Ryle's reasons for why prayer is the most important subject in practical religion. It provides 7 reasons:
1. Prayer is necessary for salvation, as no one is saved without asking for it through prayer.
2. A habit of prayer is a sure mark of a true Christian, as prayer comes naturally to them as children crying comes naturally.
3. Private prayer is the most neglected duty in religion because it is unseen, yet it is not natural and it is unfashionable to the carnal mind.
4. Prayer is the most greatly encouraged act in religion, as we are told to pray in Jesus' name and the Holy Spirit helps us in
This document discusses the importance of having a genuine, sincere faith rather than a nominal or false faith.

1) The document discusses what our purpose and ambition should be based on scripture. It says our ambition on earth should be to please God and avoid his wrath and judgment after death.
2) It explains that sin brings God's punishment of death, and discusses how people wrongly try to pay for their sins through good works, obeying commandments, prayers, and sacrifices, rather than accepting God's solution.
3) God's solution is that Jesus, being sinless, took our sins and died in our place so we can be forgiven and made righteous through faith in him. The response required is to repent, which means turning from sin and trusting in Jesus.

The document outlines the agenda for a School of Leaders meeting, including discussions on presenting the weekend message in a unified way through connecting the themes of the rollos, and additions to the outlines of the Action, Leaders, and Environments rollos to better link their content. The meeting aims to ensure the rollos work together to convey the three encounters of self, God, and others that define the Cursillo weekend experience.
The document discusses the importance of groups in achieving the goals of Cursillo. It provides guidance on effective group reunions:
- Group reunions should bring people together in friendship to share their lives, deepen their faith, and support one another's evangelization efforts.
- Groups must focus outward on apostolic action - sharing both successes and failures in evangelizing their environments.
- Groups should be small and autonomous, allowing true sharing and friendship to develop organically between members.
- Effective groups meet weekly and tie members more closely to the overall Cursillo movement through ultreyas.
The document discusses the Cursillo movement and the importance of group reunions. Some key points:
- The goal of Cursillo is to help people experience God's love for them, which then moves them to love God and share that love with others.
- Group reunions are critical for supporting and sustaining the lessons of the Cursillo weekend. They allow participants to grow closer as friends and deepen their faith.
- Groups should focus on the spiritual over mechanics. They also aim to evangelize their environments through sharing successes and failures and identifying new opportunities to spread the Gospel.
The document provides information about friendship from a Cursillo perspective. It discusses how the Cursillo method believes all true friendships come from God, and that when two people are friends and bring God into their friendship, He amplifies His graces. Friendships bring individuals and the community closer to God and are a way for love to grow. The key organizations in Cursillo that emphasize friendship are friendship groups and ultreyas. The foundation of the Cursillo charism is feeling that God loves us by seeing His love in others.
The document summarizes the agenda and content of a Cursillo group meeting focused on friendship. The meeting included prayers, a doctrinal talk on friendship beginning in Genesis, and a technique talk on how to be a friend and bring others to Christ. It discusses how Cursillo emphasizes friendship with God, others, and oneself through friendship groups, Ultreyas, and the School of Leaders. The meeting concluded with announcements, discussions of actions items like Secretariat membership terms, and a closing prayer about having fraternal charity.

- The agenda includes bible reflection, doctrine and technique talks, secretariat nominations, and closing prayer.
- Nominees for secretariat positions must have been a Cursillista for 2 years, be living the movement through grouping and ultreya, and be able to regularly attend meetings. Positions up for nomination include Lay Director, Pre-Cursillo Chair, Post-Cursillo Chair, and Treasurer.
- The SOL six month schedule and action log are also presented, with updates provided on revising the bylaws, potential weekend sites, and updating
The document discusses the importance of grouping in Cursillo. It provides guidance on grouping, including:
- Grouping is the heart of Cursillo and the fundamental function, with the goal of helping Cursillistas become holy.
- Groups should focus on members' relationship with God through sharing their piety, study, and action.
- New Cursillistas should group as soon as possible with support from sponsors to ensure their perseverance.
- Groups are intended to reinforce the lessons of the weekend and sustain Cursillistas through regular meetings focused on friendship and spiritual growth.
Grouping is essential to achieving the goals of Cursillo and sustaining evangelizers. Effective grouping involves forming small, authentic friendship groups of 3-8 members based on choice rather than assignment. Groups meet regularly to share experiences of piety, study, and action through focusing on their relationship with Christ. New Cursillistas should group as soon as possible with the help of sponsors to ensure perseverance. The goal is for groups to support one another's spiritual growth and jointly evangelize their environments.
This document discusses the Cursillo movement's focus on group reunions and ultreyas as the primary means of sustaining the lessons of the Cursillo weekend and continuing evangelization efforts. It emphasizes that the goal of Cursillo is for people to be in groups that meet regularly where they can share their experiences, plan apostolic actions, and support one another. While the structure of the groups is flexible, their focus should be on developing friendship, sharing spiritually, and discussing evangelization successes and failures. The groups and their reunions are meant to keep the members connected to help each other grow closer to Christ and active in evangelizing their environments.
1. The document discusses the importance of grouping and friendship in Cursillo. It emphasizes that the goal of Cursillo is achieved through people being in groups and developing community.
2. It provides guidance on how to develop friendship, including encountering oneself through study, encountering God through piety, and encountering others through action. True friendship comes from God and allows people to become closer to God collectively.
3. The document outlines different Cursillo friendship organizations like friendship groups, ultreyas, and the School of Leaders, and emphasizes that Cursillo is focused on developing friendship.
1) Lent lasts the six weeks between Ash Wednesday and Holy Thursday, focusing on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to imitate Jesus overcoming temptation.
2) The document provides an overview of the Lenten liturgical calendar and scripture readings for this year's Cycle B, focusing on the Gospels of Mark.
3) It encourages self-examination to identify what we can continue or improve upon to express love of God and others during Lent.
TMIY - Becoming a Man after God's Own Heart - Week 17PDEI
This document outlines a Lenten program to help men become more like God through spiritual exercises focused on overcoming temptations. It discusses the Parable of the Sower, explaining the four types of soil as orientations in the spiritual life and Satan's three fundamental temptations. The program includes daily exercises and sacrifices during Lent to evaluate one's relationship with God, self, and others. It aims to help men encounter God through practices like prayer, presence, and studying Scripture.
This document outlines the agenda and talks for a weekend Cursillo retreat. It includes an opening prayer led by the leader, reflections on piety and study, and a closing prayer. The piety talk focuses on defining authentic piety and dispelling false concepts. It discusses piety as knowing God and having courage in faith. The study talk emphasizes using intelligence to understand ourselves and God in order to take informed action. It notes study forms us as apostles when combined with prayer. The closing prayer focuses on the importance of fraternal charity within the group.
This document provides the agenda and materials for a School of Leaders meeting for the Diocese of Birmingham, Alabama Cursillo movement in September 2013. The agenda includes Bible study, prayers, talks on apostleship and discussion. One talk discusses how Cursillistas are called to be apostles through their baptism and by spreading the Good News through friendship. The document also announces upcoming Cursillo events and reviews proposed bylaw changes regarding Secretariat member roles and terms.
This document discusses the concepts of devotion, love, worship, loyalty, prayer, and reverence as they relate to religious faith. It examines biblical passages that use metaphors of a bride and bridegroom to represent the relationship between believers and Jesus Christ. The key ideas are that true faith requires an intimate relationship with God through practices like prayer, worship, obedience to scripture, and awaiting Christ's return. Superficial or nominal faith is not enough. Believers must devote themselves fully to God through their thoughts, words and actions.
The document outlines the agenda for a School of Leaders meeting, including:
1) Bible Enthronement and reflection to start the meeting.
2) Doctrine and technique talks on various Cursillo topics such as weekend themes.
3) Closing prayer led by Our Lady of Guadelupe and St. Paul, the patron saints of Cursillo.
The document provides details on the leader's opening prayer and a diagram of the Cursillo mosaic formed by the weekend rollos. It also includes potential additions or thoughts on enhancing the action, leaders, and environments rollos.
This document outlines the agenda and content for a weekend Cursillo retreat. It includes meditations, rollo talks, and prayers focused on encountering oneself, God, and others. The rollos are designed to present a unified message covering topics like ideals, lay spirituality, and living a life of grace. The overall goal is for candidates to understand how to live out their piety, study, and apostolic action as Christians.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

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 spit 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.

–
Call to Apostolate, a Christian leader
Focus on relations w/ others
Vision is Christianity in action-Christians on the move trying to do something
Provides Method to reach vision
We are Militant Catholics-dedicated Christians who group themselves around Christ w/
aim to spread ideal and translating it into works; a team in operation
13
14. Road Ahead
† The theme of each talk is important, for example:
– Why is Action conducted during day two when the theme is encounter with Christ
• Unless it is strictly interpreted to be discussed in the context of part of our
responsibilities to God
• Otherwise, it should be scheduled on Sunday as part of the Encounter with others talk
– Same thought applies to Leaders; the word leadership denotes interaction with
others; unless message is we must lead as part of our relationship with God
† So SoL needs to review each Rollo to insure that we accurately give future
Rolloistas an accurate theme for each Rollo
– Do not believe we should alter order of Rollos
† We must conduct this review prayerfully—do not want to change what is
not broken!

understanding to know the sum of ideas and circumstances that concur in a
specific time and place.
† IMPORTANCE OF WINNING THE ENVIRONMENT
† BATTLE PLAN
– The First Front: Ourselves
– The Second Front: Others
– The Third Front: Environment
† CONCLUSION
31
32. Environments
† Definition Merriam-Webster
– The circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded
– The aggregate of social and cultural conditions that influence the life of an
individual or community
† We are called to be Jesus’ Apostle in the environments in which
we find ourselves
† Environments are important as the are the gauge as to when and
how we can share the Good News
† The environments rollo is on the third day of the 3 Day weekend
and is meant to blend with Sunday’s theme
† Since environments impact all we do, to include our study and
piety, does it have to stay on Sunday, or can it be moved forward?
