Conclusion

We, as laity in the Church, can no longer take our role lightly.  The future of our society is in our hands.  We must realize that we, as individuals, can have a great impact on our society.  More importantly, we can have an even greater impact when we find other individuals that are ready and able to accept the challenge. 

Throughout history, great things have happened because individuals decided to do more than was "expected."  In the Catholic Church we refer to some of these individuals as saints. 

It has been said that Mikhail Gorbachev in ending Communist control was inspired by the Polish Solidarity Movement leader, Lech Walensa.  Walensa was himself inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King who was inspired by Rosa Parks, a black woman who refused to sit in the back of the bus.

In the introduction, we referred to the mystery of God.  How else can we explain the events that shape our world? 

In the past, the Cursillo Movement was primarily thought of as a source of individual spiritual growth.  Today, we must realize that this individual spirituality is just not enough.  Today, we must add to that spirituality.  Our society needs us to be apostolic.  Our Church needs us to be apostolic.  Our world needs us to be apostolic.  But most of all, our Lord wants us to be apostolic.

Let us strive to be Christ-like.  He chose individuals to become "fishers of men."  Should we do any less?
