" THE PERSON OF CHRIST/THE PERSON IN THE FOUNDATIONAL CURSILLO

'.... The person is influenced by his circumstances. The Foundational Cursillo assumed this condition of the human being around the notion of environment. “Everything in Precursillo, Cursillo, and Postcursillo is oriented to create the right environment in which everyone will find it easier to search and attain the encounters with oneself, with Christ, and with others.” (FC).The leavening of environments is possible when a certain degree of harmony is attained in these three encounters; and love is what facilitates this harmony. “The human being, subject to rights and reality, at the same time transcendent and conditioned, is capable of loving and only in love will feel fulfilled and happy.” (FC). It is love that facilitates our becoming persons, our becoming Christians because “God is love.” 1 Jn. 4:8.

“A person is, then, one who knows himself to be capable of loving and worthy of being loved.” (FC). And this happens within the reality of knowing that even though limited and conditioned he/she understands being part of a Whole from his own level and worth, and capable of attaining his own happiness. To be a happy person is to be able to make others feel the love of being treated as persons, to make others feel they are treated for what they are and not for what they know, have or seem to be. This is one of the essential keys of the foundational thought of Cursillo around the concept of person. It is Jesus who came to restore in us the authenticity, the dignity of the human person fully alive, fully himself/herself.” (FC). I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10. It is only in Him that we achieve the purpose the Father had at the beginning of creation, to know Him, to love Him, to serve Him and in this way to glorify Him.'
