Give yourself the gift of time away from the distractions of your daily routine to listen to Jesus and the Holy Spirit in an environment of sincere faith, fellowship and worship. This retreat is based on the Gospel of Luke 24:13-35 in which Jesus joins two disciples on their way to Emmaus. It begins with a short course in Christianity, comprised of talks by laypersons on the themes of God's grace, the disciplines of Christian discipleship, and what it means to be Catholic. The retreat is wrapped in prayer and meditation, worship, sharing and celebration of the Eucharist.Cursillo Retreats
In these retreats, the Cursillo Movement is introduced over a three-day weekend, which begins Thursday evening and ends Sunday evening. A team of religious and laypersons present a series of talks, and the group calls upon the Holy Spirit for enlightenment and guidance. The team and candidates live as a small Christian community during the weekend and discuss these talks in a small group setting. The discussions offer an opportunity to share their insights about the presentations and hear how others received that same presentation. The talks and discussions cover a variety of topics including:- The role of the layperson within the Church
- Meaning of grace and sacraments
- Importance of prayer and the study of God
- Christian leadership and living Christianity in community
- Our call to bring Christ to others and transform the very environments in which we live
- The importance of supporting one another in our efforts to live a truly Christian life.
Throughout the weekend the participants pray together, attend daily Mass and have an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. By the end of the weekend, candidates typically have a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and a better understanding of the power of the Holy Spirit. Candidates also leave the weekend knowing that they have been called to spread the Word of God.
