Why are some people disillusioned by the group reunion?
Because they emphasize the mechanics of the reunion rather than its spirit, and because they fail to contribute to it the fruits of their life as a Christian in the past week. They come to the reunion to be nourished, rather than to nourish it with the fruits of their apostolic efforts. The testimony to the success of the group reunion from those who live it is sufficient to overcome any and all criticisms of those who have not lived it. The weekend was actually developed to give people a little course in Catholicism and propose the Cursillo method of Ultreya and grouping as a way to be Christian in the daily world. The course seems to be more popular for the experience if offers than for what it proposes.
