Cursillos in Christianity Movement
Seeds of light
Eduardo Bonnín’s quotes are not merely words — they are seeds of light cast into the heart of the world.
Born of prayer, listening, and the living experience of someone who deeply loved the Church and his brothers and sisters, these expressions hold the wisdom of a man passionate about Christ and the human person.
Each quote is a spark of the Gospel lived out. An invitation to reflection. A holy provocation. A clear sign that the MCC was born to be leaven in the world.
Read them with attention. Not only with your eyes, but with your heart.
Perhaps in them you will find the echo of one of your own inner concerns. Perhaps in them you will discover that Christ is counting on you.
Let each quote speak to you at the right time.
Truth is not invented; each person must discover it. We go on discovering truths, and we listen to those who bring light to reality. The Gospel is guidance, clarity, and dynamism.

The Cursillo is where, by the grace of God and the prayers of many:
The True becomes timely.
The Good becomes attractive.
The Possible becomes concrete.

Truly friendly people are not possessive; what they want is for the other person to move in freedom, without realizing that both are mutually impelling each other toward the best of each one and for each one.

One must know how to weep for joy. To love is to feel, in the deepest part of oneself, the happiness of contributing to the happiness of the other.
Eduardo Bonnín
Hope is the extension of Faith through time.
Eduardo Bonnín
Faith is the expanding wave produced by believing in the reality of what God has done to draw close to man. It is an option of our freedom, a conquest of our effort, a personalization that makes us individual.
Eduardo Bonnín
To love is to believe blindly in the person one loves. If one truly loves, love cannot be possessive or exclusive, because if it is, the one who loves in this way loves only himself and not the other.
Eduardo Bonnín
Knowing how to believe is far greater than believing one knows.
Eduardo Bonnín
In a Cursillo, the best news is given — that God loves us — communicated through the best means, which is friendship, reaching the best of each person, which is their being as a person.
Eduardo Bonnín
Christ wants to be risen in each person.
Eduardo Bonnín
Speaking about God presupposes an intellectual faith. Speaking with God already means a relationship of friendship. Letting God speak, not as an echo of ourselves, but as an acceptance of His Gospel. His words expressed in the Gospel are a bridge that unites truth to reality and reality to truth.
Eduardo Bonnín
Christianity is simple, concrete, and possible. It is a pity that we confuse the simple with the easy, the concrete with the immediate, and the possible with the gratuitous.
If we complicate what is simple, it ceases to be natural;
If we make what is concrete abstract, it ceases to be human.
