May Message from the Lay Directors

Not Alone On Our Journey

Jesus said to them, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the Master of the harvest to send out laborers for His harvest".  Luke 10:2

WAs we enter our fourth month as Lay Directors, we find ourselves asking what's next in our journey with our friends in Cursillo.  We began the year saying Cursillo is not about the numbers, a statement that we truly believe.  As we complete the first two weekends of 2008, we have begun asking friends, what is it that will bring sponsors forward so more can enjoy the gift of Cursillo.  This led us to some "what if" questions that we would like to share.

SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR’S REFLECTIONS

Over these spring weekends, like most parishes, we celebrate First Communion with our children.  I ask for prayers for all the mostly second graders, as they develop their personal relationship with the Lord.  I hope you will also take the opportunity to reflect on what it is to be in Communion with Christ and the the whole Church throughout the world.

The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is a wonderful emphasis for us to have for the Easter Season.  It is the central Sacrament of our lives as Christians and the ongoing sustenance that we are given so that we might fulfill our mission as disciples of Jesus.  In His Body broken and His Blood poured out, Jesus found a way to remain with us after His Resurrection and return in glory to the Father.  Our sharing in Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ unites us in the Flesh with the Son of God.  In the power of the Holy Spirit, it also unites us with one another and with all others throughout the world who share with us as people of faith.  Despite the fact that the church celebrates the Liturgy in a variety of different languages and in a variety of different places, in all of this variety we are one in Christ.  Our unity goes way beyond uniformity.
