ST. PAUL’S CURSILLO ULTREYA GATHERING—January 21, 2026, at Sts. Peter & Paul Church, Manorville, NY By Joanne Lauro
Ultreya East, Sts. Peter and Paul Church, Manorville, NY
Facilitator: Joanne Lauro
Gene Johann said yes to be our Fourth Day speaker for our January Ultreya. For the theme of our evening Prayer he presented: “God you are a good God, and you want a relationship with me, even though I am a sinner. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. I choose today to love you unconditionally and welcome you into my life, in the name of Jesus, Amen.”
Gene’s questions for discussion in small groups were, as usual, so powerful. The light of Christ was in our midst as we shared our stories to his questions. This Lenten season consider pondering your answers to the questions:
Have you heard Jesus knocking at your door?
Have you let Him in completely?
Who in your life can you share a little more love or time with? Could it be Jesus?
What blocks you from walking with the joy of friendship with Jesus?
Ponder and enjoy the songs:
Walking on Sunshine, by Katrina and the Waves: It’s time to feel good. I literally got up and felt God’s love (listening and singing to this) because I am so grateful to live such an awesome life with an amazing God, amazing family, amazing friends, in an amazing place like Ultreya East and West!!!! I am so thankful!
Let ‘Em In, by Wings: Do you hear the knocking? Open the door and Let ’em in. Ooh Yeah Yeah Let’em in now!!
Looking forward to seeing EAST and WEST on February 28 in the AM at the Lenten Morning of Prayer (St. Brigid’s Church, Westbury, NY).
