My
Dear Sister & Brother Cursillistas,
May
the peace and compassionate love
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you and guide you, as we journey
through Lent to the joy of Easter.
We are asked to choose to self-impose
the necessary discipline that
will with God’s grace bring
forth in us the spiritual growth
and intimacy with God we all want.
May
the self-imposed denials and self-sacrifices
and the biblical disciplines of
prayer, fasting and almsgiving,
open your hearts, clear your minds
and bring peace, joy and happiness
to your soul.
May
God Bless you,
Father
Chuck Notabartolo
Spiritual Director
The
Encyclicals of Pope Benedict XVI
At
our Day of Reflection, Fr. Chuck
spoke about the encyclical on
Hope. I have put both of Pope
Benedict XVI's encyclicals here
for your convenience.
Deus
Caritas Est (God
is Love)
Spe
Salvi (Saved by Hope)
Our
Mission
The mission of the Cursillo Movement
of the Catholic Diocese of Palm
Beach, Florida is to participate
in the pastoral plan of our diocese
under the guidance and direction
of the Diocesan Bishop and the
appointed Spiritual Director through
the continued use of the Cursillo
Method for evangelizing environments.
All the leadership of the diocesan
movement (which includes the Secretariat,
School of Leaders, and area Ultreya
communities) shall provide to
other Cursillistas an example
of perseverance in the Fourth
Day in all phases and activities
of the Movement.
Relying
on the constant guidance and inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, and a continuing
practice of Palanca for all phases
of the Cursillo, the Diocesan
Cursillo Movement shall continue
to participate in the evangelization
mission of the Church through
the process of targeting environments,
identifying the leaders in those
environments. With them, we shall
attempt to develop Christian communities
and foster Christian growth which,
in turn, will continue to change
the world, and bring the world
closer to Christ, Our Redeemer.
