Signs of HOPE - An Interview with Eduardo Bonin, Final
Eduardo Bonnín: Even though they are obscure, I do not want to doubt the good intentions of those who always use the personal generosity of new converts by giving them an
orientation, not towards the world in which they are living, but into the internal affairs of the
Church. This is manifested in teaching catechism or visiting senior citizens, etc. since there is a whole range of activities where good people are needed. Is there something better for these people converted in Cursillo? If the result is that this task pleases them, they have a sense of satisfaction, and they believe they have made it. The dynamics of their conversion, which was supposed to continue, are turned in on themselves, and they are very pleased with the good they are doing. They feel satisfied. (click here for more)

Signs of HOPE - An Interview with Eduardo Bonin, Part 4
Eduardo Bonnín: Since the beginning, the Cursillo Movement proposes that the Good News be addressed to all people of the world without distinction. The Charism of Cursillo is for all, but we also say that if these persons that we qualify as locomotives [engines], in Cursillo terminology, come first, it would be much easier for the other railcars to follow. Wherever and whenever the Charism of the Cursillo has manifested itself, the priests and the laity understood it. There is always a beneficial encounter for both, and the most urgent and pressing preoccupation for all who are called to follow the Cursillo method will succeed in knowing the grace of God and living it. This will encourage sincere friendship and will help to eliminate prejudices and misunderstandings. What makes Cursillo different or most unique is that diverse people participate and follow it when only the essentials, the fundamental points, of Christianity are explained. (click here for more)

Signs of HOPE - An Interview with Eduardo Bonin, Part 3
Eduardo Bonnín: It has always been evident to me that God has never abandoned His Church. In His infinite providence, He makes sure that all through history, the love He has for men will always manifest itself one way or the other. The ways He utilizes to touch man’s conscience and open it to the unbelievable, but possible, friendship with Him is always different and varies, depending on the person. Sometimes, to obtain a man’s attention and will, God will use another person, an event, or an idea, a community, an institution, a behavior, etc.

Signs of HOPE - An Interview with Eduardo Bonin, Part 2
Eduardo Bonnín: All this, and mostly my contacts with people, made me realize in direct contact withreality, that when the message of the Gospel is accepted with personalized faith, and it reaches the specific singularity, the originality and creativity of each person, it reinforces the human qualities of the person. These qualities, as soon as the life of Grace starts to grow and becomes conscious, bring each human being – in the Christological process, through the logic that Christ uses, to grow in his or her desire to live in thanksgiving for the gift of life and to experience the joy that results fromtransmitting it to the broadest number possible.

Signs of HOPE - An Interview with Eduardo Bonin, Part 1
Eduardo Bonnín: I sincerely believe that the Lord, using many circumstances, has manifested his will, little by little, throughout my life. Although my confidence in Providence is radical, I have never realized the ideal that I had chosen for my life in my youth. Leading me by other paths, the Lord has proven in many circumstances, I should say in all circumstances, that he has better taste than I do. (click here for more)
