Analysis of The Ballad Of Cursillo



The Cursillo is ‘A Walk With Christ’
Just a few days sharing His company.
A brief journey along the road of life
Involving some interesting testimony.

A week- end which is required in an
Age opposed to faith… for it involves
Our God of Love whose Word is the
Eternal source of truth.

And while each day passes faith
Increasingly blooms for Christ, the
Son of Mary and Our Eucharist, the
Eternal Bread of our spiritual life…

So let us recruit for The Cursillo and
Willingly support and participate for as
Disciples of Our Saviour to evangelise
Is an interesting aspect of our fate.
