Communication to the MCC of the Diocese of San Justo – Buenos Aires - Argentina
The Cursillo movement fosters an encounter between human freedom and God’s love through friendship. It invites all people to live faith as the experience of being loved and to transform the world from that awareness.

El Movimiento de Cursillos de Cristiandad es un movimiento de Iglesia, pero no para la Iglesia, sino para el mundo, como la Iglesia misma. Al pertenecer a la Iglesia, tiene necesidad de sacerdotes y laicos, pero unos y otros, además de mantenerse en diálogo, deben ser fieles y no desligarse del “Carisma Inicial”

El Movimiento de cursillos pretende que la libertad del hombre se encuentre con el espíritu de Dios. Toda gira en torno a esta idea central, y la eficacia del Cursillo consiste en aplicar el modo para facilitar este feliz encuentro.

El Cursillo de Cristiandad tiene que ser heterogéneo, reuniendo en la aventura del encuentro con el espíritu de Dios a toda categoría de personas, cercanos y lejanos, ricos y pobres, inteligentes e ignorantes, estudiantes y obreros.

El Cursillo de Cristiandad pone al desnudo y descubre valores humanos en los laicos que, si se les ayuda a ser cristianos en el mundo, en lugar de encaminarlos a resolver los problemas intraeclesiales, harían crecer el prestigio de la Iglesia y la acercarían al mundo.

Toda persona que ha vivido la experiencia del Cursillo sale de él con la convicción de que Dios le ama en Cristo. Sabe que ser cristianos, más que ninguna otra cosa, es sentirse amados por Dios y vivir en este estupor, pues el elemento más genuinamente cristiano es dejarse amar por Dios.

La finalidad del Cursillo es comunicar al mayor número de personas posible la buena noticia de que Dios nos ama, expresada con el mejor medio, la amistad, dirigida a lo mejor de cada uno, su singularidad personal, su capacidad de convicción, de decisión y de constancia. Sabiendo que el triple encuentro que se hace durante el Cursillo, consigo mismo, con Cristo y con los hermanos, se está transformando en amistad, en amistad consigo mismo, con Cristo y con los hermanos.

De amar se tiene la certeza, de ser amado se tiene fe. El que ama duda de todo, quien se siente amado no duda de nada. Cuando una persona experimenta esta realidad y la fe de ser amada por Dios en Cristo, se convierte en motor, orientación y meta de su vivir, entonces comprende que ser cristiano no es sólo saber que un día deberemos rendir cuentas, sino que es vivir dándose cuenta de vivir, y esto la impele a dar gracias a Dios. Si afrontamos la vida con esta actitud, entonces nos damos cuenta de que la vida es bella, que la gente es importante y que vale la pena vivir.

Reflections II: In Search of Oneself

Reflections II: In Search of Oneself
Eduardo made many sheets for his personal use, which he frequently used as a script when he spoke. Some of them contain a single thought, but there are others that constitute true schemes, more or less complicated, difficult to interpret for someone other than the author himself. As these sheets expose an important part of his thinking, it was thought that they could be rewritten in a version that was easily accessible to everyone, always trying to reproduce his ideas with the utmost fidelity, although it was inevitable that, at least in part, his peculiar and very personal way of expressing himself would be lost. The difficulty increased due to the fact that the sheets were written, as already mentioned, with the purpose of serving as an aid in oral interventions and never thinking about their written publication. This adaptation work was started by Guillermo Bibiloni, a good connoisseur of the subject and author of a "History of Cursillos," but it was left incomplete, surely due to Guillermo's death, remaining forgotten among Eduardo's countless papers, until recently, the manuscript was found, considering it a great find. This part, adapted by Guillermo Bibiloni, is what is now published, leaving for later the rest of the sheets, which are still the object of the necessary adaptation work for comfortable reading. A few years ago, a booklet with this same title, written by Eduardo, was published. Although some coincidence is possible, the content of these first "Reflections" and that of "Reflections II" is different, since then, apparently, the author did not resort to the sheets we know, but to other sources from his copious archive.
