When I participated in the first Cursillo in Cala Figuera in 1944, I never imagined that this experience would transform so many lives worldwide. Eduardo Bonnín left his mark with his joy, humility, and spirit of friendship. We shared unique moments under the pine trees, with sincere conversations and reflections in the chapel. This Cursillo was an unforgettable adventure that I carry engraved in my memory and in the photos I still treasure as a testimony of a transcendent beginning.

Eduardo, every time I look at your photo, I feel your smile and the profound impact you left on my life and in Italy. Meeting you was a privilege that taught me the transcendence of friendship and how to see each person through God's eyes. From young people to adults, you inspired everyone with your humility and wisdom. You never forgot your friends, and your words, "Go forward, my friend, don't get tired," resonate in my heart, giving me strength to keep walking in faith and hope. Thank you, Eduardo!

I had the honor of participating in the first Cursillo de Cristiandad in Cala Figuera in 1944, never imagining the worldwide impact it would have. Eduardo Bonnín was the rector, and his dedication to Christ’s cause profoundly marked me. Throughout my life, I collaborated in various Cursillos and in the Proa magazine, enjoying the atmosphere of friendship in the Ultreyas. Eduardo was a constant inspiration; his dedication and charisma planted in me a faith that still accompanies me today. ¡De Colores!

Since I met Eduardo Bonnín Aguiló, I have been struck by his unwavering faith and visionary outlook. Although we were not close friends, sharing key moments with him, such as the first numbered Cursillo in San Honorato, left an indelible mark. Eduardo was a role model, a man ahead of his time, whose energy and charisma inspired young people like me to propel the Cursillos forward. His legacy remains alive, like a lush tree that provides shelter and hope to thousands of Cursillistas around the world.

As a priest and Cursillista, reflecting on 75 years since the first Cursillo de Cristiandad is exciting. From a young age, I saw how the Holy Spirit used Eduardo Bonnín to transform lives. I participated in ultreyas and Cursillos that shaped my priestly ministry. Although I drifted away for a while, in my retirement, I have returned to these encounters, renewing my faith and commitment. With gratitude to Eduardo, I pray to continue being an instrument of love and grace on the journey to Jesus. ¡De Colores!

I was part of the first Cursillo de Cristiandad in Cala Figuera when I was just 13 years old, an experience that marked my life. I remember Eduardo Bonnín, one of the instructors, with great affection, as well as the "rollos" we shared, both listening and participating. The anecdotes—like riding a bike down a steep staircase and swimming between boats in Cala Figuera—are part of cherished memories. Although I did not maintain continuous contact, the Cursillo left a deep imprint on me, filled with gratitude.

I met Eduardo Bonnín in 1995 during my first National Encounter in Denver, and I was fascinated by his call to keep Cursillo simple. His vision and the founding charism he shared inspired my faith and my desire to delve into the Movement’s origins. Years later, in Mallorca, his humility and wisdom deeply impacted me, showing me God's love in action. Eduardo has been a spiritual father to me, whose guidance continues to encourage my Christian life.

I met Eduardo Bonnín Aguiló when I was 14 years old, but our friendship grew years later, marked by mutual trust and sincerity. Eduardo saw in each person a friend, not an instrument. I admired his ability to guide me without imposing, encouraging me to find my own path to God. His faith, pragmatism, and respect for the laity of the Cursillos were constants. Eduardo was unique—humble, optimistic, and dedicated—leaving an indelible mark on my life and that of others.

Testimonials

«I met Eduardo Bonnín Aguiló in November 1991, during his visit to my city, Resistencia. His humility and clarity left a deep mark on me. Although at first, I did not fully understand his message, over time, and through readings like those of Francisco Forteza, I grasped the true dimension of his foundational charism. Eduardo captivated me with his simplicity, wisdom, and love for the Cursillos, showing me the importance of valuing each person and living with a renewed and authentic faith.» See full testimony
