Thinking about the freedom we are so blessed to have in this country yesterday, made me also appreciate the freedom we have to share our blessings with others.  We can't always share our faith in the workplace any more, but you can get to know people at work and then invite them to reunion with you "away" from work one day a week.  Sharing your faith in your story of the week is the best way I can think of to help someone find their way to Christ.  They may be members of another denomination, and that's okay too!  God doesn't care what we call ourselves, just so we show up for Him.  Your honesty and love in sharing your piety, study and action may help them find their way to a closer relationship with Him.  They may never have thought about what their closest moment to Christ was during any given week.  I know I didn't prior to reunion.  Now it's something I think of daily.  Just my thoughts on this subject.  What do you think? 

 

Meantime, another thing to think about and pray about is Cursillo #229, The Cursillo of Humility and Love which is quickly approaching.  The weekend begins on August 26 and ends at Clausaura on Sunday, August 29th.  Who do you know in your parish who would benefit from a Cursillo weekend?  The knowledge and love experienced at a Cursillo weekend does help build leaders for the church, but more than that, Cursillo gives us more candidates to reunion with and it's all about the end effect of Christians working together in small groups to support and sustain one another.  Jesus had a "small group" with His disciples.  He patterned this for us.   I'm so thankful to Him for my small group!  What would I do without them helping me through hard times that I just don't understand; or celebrating with me the good times.

 

Thanks be to God for Group Reunion!  Keep them growing.  Sponsor someone new to Cursillo today!

 

Ultreya!
