Making Plans… Central Indiana Cursillo Fall 2017 Central Indiana Cursillo Fall 2017 Making Plans… Planning has been on my mind lately…I attended the Region IV Cursillo Encounter in October where the topic of discussion and sharing was Apostolic Planning. I came away with some great in- formation that I am very excited to share and incorporate into our own CICC Apostolic Planning session in January! With the holidays just around the corner, more planning is starting to kick into gear… Jennifer Burger We’ve all made plans for the future. Whether it is a kitchen re- model, family event such as a wedding, or for our own retire- Lay Director CICC ment – we start with the desired outcome in mind – a vision if you will – and then make a list of what steps we need to take in order to get to that point. Of course, to the extent that we can control it, we want everything to turn out “just right” so every detail in our plan is important and we stick to it! Our plans, large or small, simple or elaborate, point and lead us in a direction – many of us would be lost without them! So in what direction are we headed spiritually? Heaven is our future - I recently heard a priest say “The best plan that God has given us is Eternal Life!” I find great consolation in this as I often forget that I am not the one that has to figure it all out – He has promised each of us this future and laid the path in front of us and we just need to be faithful in our steps. This is what we are each called to through Baptism. 1 There is no doubt that this future will be MORE than “just right” – we are blessed in our Catholic faith to receive a foretaste of Heaven at each Mass! I am so grateful for this! We all know that just because God has planned this for us, it doesn’t mean we have no work to do – Making plans for our Heavenly Future relies on how we respond to what God has promised us. So how do we respond? What steps have we taken to ensure we – and our loved ones – get to Heav- en? Have we given this much thought lately, and if so, how are we doing with sticking to the plan? These are some big and important plans! In the Cursillo we learned that our response is to live a Life in Grace!

Jennifer Burger CICC Lay Director 2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…” Mt 13:44 Why spend the money purchasing expensive last minute airline tickets, renting a car, and traveling across the country for almost 24 hours to serve a Saturday morning breakfast for Team and Candidates at a Men’s Cursillo Weekend and attend the weekend closing before traveling another 24 hours back? The answer is simple for those who are seekers…to experience what the Kingdom is like. Dad (Monty Mountcastle) died on Oct. 3rd 2014. He deeply loved people and the Cursillo Movement. He touched so many and the response he received was that of sincere gratitude and deep love in return. Dad made Cursillo 37. And now 80 men’s week- ends later, Men’s Cursillo 117. So many on Team, Dad had the honor to work with…and I needed to be with them and the all the Cursillo Community. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…” being with and serving the Men of Cursillo 117. Dad is a part of this Kingdom now. It’s where we all want to go. I could see him in the eyes of others. I could feel his Spirit. It’s the closest I have felt to him since he died. I’d do it again. God Bless you in your 4th day. DeColores !!! Robert Mountcastle, Cursillo 79, St. Paul’s Church, Juneau, Alaska Giving Giving ThanksThanks For: For: Piety Group Reunion Close Moments Study Ultreyas Action 3 Parish Coordinators It’s been said that one of the qualities of a good leader is his or her ability to communicate with those that are being led. As we are called to be spiritual leaders in our environments we need to remain connected to the Cursillo method and all that it involves. To keep each cur- sillista connected to what’s going on in the local movement, it is important that we are kept informed about the 3-Day teams, candidates, ultreyas, etc. Of course, most of this information can be found on the CICC website www.cursillo-cicc.org , but not everyone uses this source. So, what do we do to improve communication? We ask a cursillista to provide leadership within their parish to pass along information coming from the Secretariat and be the person in the parish that stimulates Fourth Day activity. This person is called a Parish Coordinator. The Parish Coordinator concept has been used effectively in the CICC for quite some time now and the majority of the parishes have someone that is currently fulfilling this responsibil- ity. But, there are still 27 parishes that do not have someone helping to strengthen the cursillis- tas’ Fourth Day experience. If you do not think that your parish has a Parish Coordinator, please go to the website and select “About Us” on the header and a menu will drop down. Se- lect “Parish Coordinators” and you will see a link to open a list of parishes that have a Parish coordinator. If your parish is not listed, you need to consider stepping up and volunteering. To find out, in detail, what the position entails, please select the link to “Parish Coordinator Re- sponsibilities.” Please feel free to contact me to discuss the subject and to volunteer.

I’m amazed at how the Holy Spirit took charge of this weekend. We were the first Cursillo weekend in a new (to us) facility that was still undergoing renovation. There were some bumps and surpris- es but all in all we were very pleased with all that St Josephs Re- treat Center did to make us feel welcome. The Holy Spirit was in control from a very early start. I received many comments from veteran Cursillistas about how awe- some the team make-up was. I couldn’t agree more and I constantly reflect on how the blessings from the Holy Spir- it guided me in making those calls. Many of the guys on the team were worried about making sure this weekend would truly be a good tool in the hand of the Lord. But the Holy Spirit was at work VERY early on in the weekend. I was told early on that I just have to turn it over to God – IT IS HIS WEEKEND. That is a piece of advice that I will be passing on to others. Our awesome candidates came from all parts of the state and they ranged in age from men in their early 20’s to those in their 70’s+. The weekend started on a real high when the candidates introduced themselves on Thursday night. WOW! They were ON FIRE from then on! The talks by the team were spot-on and made the weekend flow smoothly and our beloved Clergy who came to share the different aspects of the Holy Spirit were beyond praise. I can’t explain how grateful I am for these awesome men – especially our Spiritual Director – Fr Todd Riebe. The proof of how the Holy Spirit guided the weekend came at the closing when the men on the weekend shared their thoughts and gave thanks to the only one who counts – our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. DeColores, Bob Little is much when GOD is in it. 5 Be Still And Know That I AM God— Cursillo # 117 Come And Follow Me— Cursillo # 107 6 Cursillo 107—Come and Follow Me The experience of leading Cursillo 107 was the greatest encounter with Christ I have ever experienced.

  • Exorcism and Demonic Possession
    Exorcism and Demonic Possession Copyright 2021 Shane Rogers Entertainment Midnight Facts for Insomniacs Podcast Transcript (Note: transcript consists of episode outline) The concept of demonic possession is as old as recorded history. Babylonian priests in ancient Mesopotamia would perform exorcisms by tossing wax figurines of demons into a fire. But obviously the modern western concept of demonic possession and exorcism is rooted in Christianity. The Christian version of possession is characterized by raving and speaking in tongues, displaying superhuman strength, spouting profanity and tossing out obscene hand gestures and exhibiting “blasphemous rage.” So, Flakka. Or any American dive bar on a Friday night. Or, College. So what does the Bible say about demonic possession? I’m always curious about what the actual text says because I’ve never read the entire the Bible, I’m not much of a Bible reader, I’m more of a Bible peruser, but what I do know is that many of the elements we associate with religious mythology aren’t explicitly stated in the text, they’re either in related volumes like the book of Enoch, or have been fully created whole cloth through fanfiction and a multi-generational game of religious telephone. There will be one line of the Bible that mentions a morning star and a few centuries later half of us believe in a guy with horns and cloven feet. But in this case, well, demonic possession is all over the Bible. It’s pretty explicit. Like it’s not on every fifth page or something, but there’s no denying that it’s a major part of the New Testament in particular.

  • 1 Year B 4Th Sun OT (2021) HOMILY: by Fr. Jim Chern It Was A
    Year B 4th Sun OT (2021) HOMILY: by Fr. Jim Chern It was a couple of years ago that the Newman Center at Montclair State University welcomed Father Vincent Lampert as a guest lecturer. Here was a parish priest from Indianapolis who for the most part is very unknown, coming to a public, state run university campus. And he filled the Conference Center (over 600 students) for the second time (he was here in 2010 as well with similar crowds) on a Wednesday Night and had people on the edges of their seats for over 2 and a half hours. This was no ordinary parish priest. Father Lampert is an official exorcist of the Roman Catholic Church who was trained by the Vatican at his Bishop’s request to learn how to perform this dramatic, often depicted but very rarely understood ritual of the Church. When we announced that Father Lampert was coming and what the topic was, it’s true, we had fun with the advertising and wanted it to be a bit provocative. Coming a few weeks prior to Halloween, there was already that imaginary “spooky sense” in the atmosphere with decorations on campus of spider webs, tomb stones, witches and black cats. We billed it as “An Evening with an Exorcist” – and before we knew it, there was quite a stir about it both on and off the campus. For the most part it seemed people came out of curiosity. And I don’t know if I could pit a guess on what percentages this falls to, but I would say a majority came in thinking “This isn’t really real, right? We don’t actually believe the devil possesses people — That there’s evil operating in the world?” – We’re too sophisticated to believe such things (especially in this academic environment).

  • How a Scientist Learned to Work with Exorcists
    PostEverything As a psychiatrist, I diagnose mental illness. Also, I help spot demonic possession. How a scientist learned to work with exorcists. By Richard Gallagher July 1 Richard Gallagher is a board-certified psychiatrist and a professor of clinical psychiatry at New York Medical College. He is at work on a book about demonic possession in the United States. In the late 1980s, I was introduced to a self-styled Satanic high priestess. She called herself a witch and dressed the part, with flowing dark clothes and black eye shadow around to her temples. In our many discussions, she acknowledged worshipping Satan as his “queen.” I’m a man of science and a lover of history; after studying the classics at Princeton, I trained in psychiatry at Yale and in psychoanalysis at Columbia. That background is why a Catholic priest had asked my professional opinion, which I offered pro bono, about whether this woman was suffering from a mental disorder. This was at the height of the national panic about Satanism. (In a case that helped induce the hysteria, Virginia McMartin and others had recently been charged with alleged Satanic ritual abuse at a Los Angeles preschool; the charges were later dropped.) So I was inclined to skepticism. But my subject’s behavior exceeded what I could explain with my training. She could tell some people their secret weaknesses, such as undue pride. She knew how individuals she’d never known had died, including my mother and her fatal case of ovarian cancer. Six people later vouched to me that, during her exorcisms, they heard her speaking multiple languages, including Latin, completely unfamiliar to her outside of her trances.

  • The Demonic Possession of Anneliese Michel Part One - Now in the Suck Pile out Back by the Suck Shed
    Cold Open: In the last days of Anneliese Michel’s life, she looked more dead than alive. Emaciated. Face sunken in. Sharp cheekbones protruding from grey, pallid skin. Teeth chipped from recently biting a hole in a wall. Extremely dark, black circles around once beautiful and hopeful eyes. This previously attractive young German college student was only 23 years old. And now she looked closer to 60. She should have been graduating, joining the workforce, dating, and enjoying her youth. She should have been figuring out what she was going to do with a long and happy life. Instead, she’d been undergoing multiple exorcism rituals a week for nearly a full year. She was bedridden and weighed less than 70 pounds - and it’s not like she was 3 feet tall. I actually couldn’t find a single reference to exactly how tall she was, but, based on numerous photos, I’d have to say 5’4” or 5’5”. And based on photos of Anneliese when she was healthy, I’d put her weight at around a very fit 110 pounds, maybe even 115 or 120. But now, in the last days of her life, she was a skeleton with rice-paper thin skin. She looked like a demon herself. She looked frightened. Ethereal. She looked like the become the personification of torment itself. She’d lost 40 to 50 pounds off of an already thin frame. That’s what happens when you skip the food pyramid and instead exist on a diet of spiders, flies, and your own urine, licked up off the floor.
