Secretariat
Guiding the Movement
Who are we?
As committed leaders, dedicated to promoting and living the Foundational Charism ourselves, we have understood that Cursillo is not something that we do; it is something that we live simply because to live Cursillo is to live the Gospel.
If the Secretariat assumes an identity that resembles a board of directors then it can only be said that it is far removed from its Christian context. All decisions that are made must be for the good of the Movement bearing in mind at all times that in Cursillo; all that is done is done with the good of the person as the primary focus. The best criterion to use is: “What would Jesus do if He were here?” The School of Leaders and the Secretariat never come together simply to do something, but always first and foremost to be something together.

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.
