The 4th Day

What is the 4th Day?

This phase is what happens after a Weekend…the rest of our lives. Remember what happened to Jesus and His closest disciples after they came down from the mountain after the transfiguration? They immediately had to go back to work! The same holds true for us. As much as we'd like to stay at our Weekend forever, the real world beckons.

Fortunately, we have spent three days learning how to live in a whole new way, and we have a community, a servant community who is ready and waiting to help us to live our fourth day, which is the rest of our life.

We may have learned something from the Weekend or we may have confirmed we are on the right path already. Above all, we now have a connection to a Community of believers committed to living a life in Christ in the real world and to helping support others along the way.

Group Reunions

In the 4th Day we are encouraged to meet in small groups called Group Reunions. The Group Reunion is a small group, usually 4-6 people who meet weekly to share their piety, study and action with one another. They pray with and for one another. These people are the ones who often know you best, and who keep you closest to Christ in your 4th day.

Ultreya

Periodically, several Groups meet together at an Ultreya (the Spanish word for “onward”) where we have fellowship with music, food, and a worship service in our larger Community.

4th Day Event

A much larger gathering, called the 4th Day Event (some may know it as a Day of Deeper Understanding) is held 1-2 times each year to bring our entire Diocesan Cursillo Community together in fellowship and worship.

If you are interested in participating in any of the above events, please contact your local parish or you can email communications@cursillodiosovamail.com
