In Cursillo terms, the "Fourth Day" is the 'after' activity of the Cursillo. It is a starting point that lasts the rest of your life. During this time perseverance is important just as it is in any method of renewal. In the Cursillo Movement the community spirit is continued after the three day weekend through the "Ultreya" or reunions of the community. These are held as often as weekly as a means of growth in understanding and zeal within the Christian community. Reunions of smaller groups of friends are also held in order for them to encourage one another in spiritual growth and commitment.
The Cursillo is an encounter with Christ. Correctly applied and overseen, the Cursillo Movement can have very positive results in the spiritual revitalization of the world. The Christ-likeness in a few good people is contagious. The transference of Christ's value to others in one's family, school, place of business, etc., is the Christianizing of environments the Cursillo promotes. This "Christianizing of environments" is what the Cursillo Movement is all about. Ultreya Schedules and Lay Rectors Guidelines for Ultreya Lay Witnesses
