Testimony from Adela Marquez: DE COLORES HERMANOS Y HERMANAS EN CRISTO , I HAVE MADE MY CURSILLO 1997 , AND STILL THIS DAY I NEVER HAVE LEFT THE PATH OF CHRIST, IT MADE ME A STRONGER SOLDIER OF CHRIST ALWAYS CARRYING THE WEAPONS TO PROTECT ME AND TO DEFEND OUR LORDS AND HOLY MOTHER HOLY NAME. I REMEMBER BEFORE I MADE MY CURSILLO I WAS ALWAYS IN BATTLE WITH THE ENEMY AND WITH MY CHILDREN . SO ONE DAY I WALK TO THE CHURCH OF SAINT MARY IN ODESSA AND TO VISIT THE BLESSED SACRAMENT OF ADORATION ,I REMEMBER IT WAS 10:39 AM AND AFTER THE VISIT I SET DOWN ON THE CORNER OF THE CHURCH AND I WAS CRYING AND ASKING MY LORD TO HELP ME WITH MY CHILDREN .AND THAT MOMENT THIS OLD LADY ASK ME IF I Wanted TO GO TO CHURCH , AND I Said YES , AND THERE IS WHERE I MET Y FRIENDS OF THE HOLY ROSARY SO THIS LADIES BECAME MY BEST FRIENDS WE ALL WHEN TO RETREATS AND THE FELLOWING YEAR I DECIDE TO MAKE CURSILLO , IT FELT SO BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME AND SO CLOSE TO GOD AND DURING THOSE TIMES I HAVE RECEIVED BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM OUR LORD I RECEIVED THE GIFT OF TONGUES AND THE GIFT OF VISIONS , I HAVE BEING THROUGH SO MUCH SINCE THEN DUFF STUFF PERSONAL , AND SPIRITUAL , BUT I ALWAYS RUN THE GOD IN THE BLESSED TABERNACLE WHERE MY LORD IS PRESENT .
I AM 66 NOW AND I FEEL LIKE I M STILL YOUNG SO I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY MAN OR WOMAN IT WANTS TO BE MORE CLOSER TO THE LORD TO DO THE CURSILLO IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I lived my Cursillo in February of 2000 and ever since I got ordained as a priest, in 2006, was invited to help for the 3-day retreats. I have enjoyed coming to help with rollos, confessions, and sometimes to play music or counsel the faithful. I can say that I’ve done it almost every year without interruptions. This experience, of helping every year, has increased my knowledge and love for the Cursillo movement. It seems like I never get enough, and every time it’s refreshing and exciting to be able to help the Cursillistas grow in love with themselves, with God and others.
