Gospel of the Day
Gospel of the Day
Jesus proposed a parable to the crowds.
“The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed
that a person took and sowed in a field.
It is the smallest of all the seeds,
yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants.
It becomes a large bush,
and the ‘birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.’”
He spoke to them another parable.
“The Kingdom of heaven is like yeast
that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour
until the whole batch was leavened.”
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables.
He spoke to them only in parables,
to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:
I will open my mouth in parables,
I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation
of the world.

Ultreya Centres
Faith is also lived close to you.
The Ultreya Centres are places of encounter, friendship and perseverance. Across the Algarve, cursillistas gather to share life, pray, strengthen their faith and continue the journey begun in the Cursillo.
Each Centre is accompanied by brothers and sisters serving the Movement and, whenever possible, by spiritual support that helps keep the essential alive: Christ, friendship and mission.
Encounter
A simple and welcoming place to share life, faith and friendship.
Post-Cursillo
The journey continues in community, prayer and daily mission.
Spiritual support
Lay leaders and spiritual direction help each Centre remain faithful to what is essential.
