Post Cursillo
BRING THAT FRIEND TO CHRIST!
Although the Three Day Weekend is essential to the overall experience, it is not the end of the journey. Postcursillo is the third stage of the Cursillo Movement and is designed to renew, accelerate and perfect the conversion of each of those who have experienced the three-day weekend. The Postcursillo is there to provide the means to persevere as each person strives to live the Christian life within his or her unique place in the church and in the world. The basic means of perseverance are Group Reunion and Ultreya.
Group Reunion, the gathering of a small group of friends with whom they can share their lives, the life each of them is leading as an individual Christian. The sharing focuses on the individual interior life (their call to Holiness/Piety), Christian study (their Formation/Study) and evangelistic efforts (their Evangelization/Action).
Ultreya. When the members of friendship groups come together in order to form a larger community, providing for the good of the community. The Ultreya is the place for us to receive the nourishment needed for the spiritual and evangelical journey.

Leader's Prayer
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 our failures assures victory.
Move away from us the tiny rivalries, sensitivities, discourtesies, pride, everything which distracts from You, everything which divides or discourages.
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 tasks 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 Guadalupe, Patron of the Americas, Pray for Us.
St. Paul, Patron of Cursillo, Pray for Us.
