SoL Leader’s Prayer
† Lord grant that we may understand the necessity for depth in our Movement, rather than surface glory. Convince us of the truth that colorful programs do not constitute success.
† My God, give us a spirit of self sacrifice so that we may offer everything for Your cause: our time, our abilities, our health and even our lives if necessary. Instill in us courage in our initiatives, good judgment in our choice of the right means, and that determination, which in spit of failures, assures victory.
† Move away from us the tiny rivalries, sensitivities, discourtesies, pride, everything which distracts from You, everything which divides or discourages.

SoL Leader’s Prayer con’t
† Help us to maintain at a high level, a meaningful supernatural and mutual charity among ourselves, so that each one will seek by preference, the most humble task and will rejoice at the good performed by others, so that all our spirits, united in a common purpose, will have one single spirit, Yours Jesus, and that this spirit may let us see Your attractive goodness marked in all our faces, Your warm accents in all our words, and in our lives something superior to the world, something that proclaims Your Living Presence among us. Amen
† Our Lady of Guadelupe, Patron of the Americas, Pray for US.† St Paul, Patron of the Cursillo, Pray for US.

Weekend Themes-3 Day Manual
† Day one: Sanctifying grace-presentation of life in grace; direction of one's life to God; conversion; Christ our friend– Encounter with self– Beauty of call, importance of personal relationship w/ Christ– Low key, stick to outline, Just give the facts
† Day two: encounter with Christ:– How person forms them self to be Christ like– Focus on relation w/ Christ & others
† Day 3: encounter with others– Call to Apostolate, a Christian leader– Focus on relations w/ others– Vision is Christianity in action-Christians on the move trying to do something– Provides Method to reach vision– We are Militant Catholics-dedicated Christians who group themselves around Christ w/ aim
to spread ideal and translating it into works; a team in operation
SoL

Road Ahead
† The theme of each talk is important, for example:– Why is Action conducted during day two when the theme is encounter with
Christ• Unless it is strictly interpreted to be discussed in the context of part of our
responsibilities to God• Otherwise, it should be scheduled on Sunday as part of the Encounter with others talk
– Same thought applies to Leaders; the word leadership denotes interaction with others; unless message is we must lead as part of our relationship with God
† So SoL needs to review each Rollo to insure that we accurately give future Rolloistas an accurate theme for each Rollo– Do not believe we should alter order of Rollos
† We must conduct this review prayerfully—do not want to change what is not broken!

Closing Prayer
† Dear Lord, we must have fraternal charity, or we can accomplish
nothing for you.
† In loving you, help us to have a genuine concern for one another, a
generosity in sharing one another’s burdens, a gallantry in
defending the reputation of our group, a sincere sympathy in
sharing one another’s suffering and sorrows, and a joy in sharing
their spiritual growth.
† By this shall all men know that we are your Apostles. Amen.

STUDY OF THE ENVIRONMENT Outline
† INTRODUCTION† DEFINITION
– Environment is the sum of circumstances that come together in a certain time and place. Study of the Environment will then be the application of the understanding to know the sum of ideas and circumstances that concur in a specific time and place.
† IMPORTANCE OF WINNING THE ENVIRONMENT† BATTLE PLAN
– The First Front: Ourselves– The Second Front: Others– The Third Front: Environment
† CONCLUSION
SoL

Environments
† Definition Merriam-Webster– The circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded – The aggregate of social and cultural conditions that influence the life of an
individual or community † We are called to be Jesus’ Apostle in the environments in which
we find ourselves† Environments are important as the are the gauge as to when and
how we can share the Good News† The environments rollo is on the third day of the 3 Day weekend
and is meant to blend with Sunday’s theme† Since environments impact all we do, to include our study and
piety, does it have to stay on Sunday, or can it be moved forward?
