DIOCESAN SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR'S LETTER

Previous Article | Back to Go Fourth Index | Next Article

Dear Friends,

Last week I was sad when I heard someone talking about a group of Christians, she was saying, 'they came to the meeting but they did not mix with any of us for their meals, they stayed in their own little group.'

I was even sadder when I heard her mention Cursillo and I realised that she was talking about a group of cursillistas ( I don't know where they were from. I pray that they were not from our Diocese).

I could see how it must have happened, and I know that often I am guilty of the same fault. It is natural that when we are as close as we are in Cursillo we want to be together, but we have to be careful that we are not seen as a clique.

I want to urge you to remember one of the great sayings of Cursillo: 'Make a friend, be a friend, and bring your friend to Jesus.'

Even if there are other cursillistas whom we haven't seen for some time or whom we are particularly close to. Let us make the effort to join with others first.

If something like a meal or an event is arranged, let us be involved.

We should never do our own thing to the exclusion of others or in competition with others.

Remember Cursillo will be judged by our actions. That is unfair, but it is the way of things.

Every blessing

Stephen Waters
