Cursillo is one way of being a disciple. It is based on a simple discipline of prayer, study and action. Its purpose is to support the church in its mission of growing disciples. An ancient Christian practice is to meet with friends in small groups for mutual support, encouragement and growth.
The Cursillo approach, using prayer, study and action, is built on this and is practised widely across the Episcopal Church. Want to know more? Come to an ‘Ultreya’ – one of our gatherings. We meet at St Augustine’s on the last Tuesday of every month at 7pm.
In Cursillo, we use this prayer, which you may find helpful: Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in us the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and we shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.
Almighty God, who taught the hearts of your faithful people by sending them the light of your Holy Spirit; grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgement in all things and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
