Those who have made it -- over 2,300 -- can’t really explain it. And it is even more impossible to explain it to someone who hasn’t made it. The apostles couldn’t explain what happened to them on Pentecost, when there came a new fire. Only the Holy Spirit knows for sure.

The CURSILLO helps people come alive and gives encouragement to those who are already alive. It makes life worth living and worth loving. You will love the friendliness, the warmth, the spirit of Jesus you see in each other.
