Restoration Retreats
“To fall in love with God is the great romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him the greatest achievement.” -Saint Augustine
The Restoration Retreat is an adventure (seeking God) filled with romance (loving God) trying to achieve a goal (finding God).
The Restoration Retreat is a gathering of Cursillo alumni praying together, away from the world. And by their interaction during the Restoration weekend they are strengthening each other’s spiritual journey. They are not alone.
“Jesus summoned the twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits.” Mark 6:7-13
Cursillo weekends are easy compared to life, your fourth day. The usual responsibilities, pressures and temptations of life begin the minute you walk out the door from a Cursillo weekend. The challenges and difficulties of the fourth day can separate them from God.
The Cursillo method provides the alumni with tools for a successful fourth day, such as small groups, ultreya, and school of leaders. These are guides for their fourth day journey with other Christians. “Never alone.”
A Restoration Retreat is just another tool to help the Cursillo alumni live their fourth day.
Restoration has less pressure, no skits, but familiar faces.
Be a friend and bring a friend back to Christ.
Remember, Christ is always counting on you!
