Beyond
the 4th Day...
On
this page, we commemorate our Cursillista brothers and sisters who have
reached heaven...
In the words of St. Paul (Patron of
Cursillo), “I have fought the good fight, I
have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on a merited crown
awaits me; on that day the Lord, just judge that he is, will award it to
me-and not only to me, but to all who have looked for his appearing with
eager longing.” (2 Timothy
4:7-8)
Please
feel free to send us
a photo and a brief write-up
about our fellow
Cursillistas who are
now praying for us in heaven.

Merle Greenwald Anderson...
Merle
is lovingly remembered by fellow Cursillistas as the First
Lady of the Metuchen Cursillo Movement. She made her
Cursillo in the Diocese of Trenton, Women's Cursillo #12. She was a
parishioner of St. Bernard's of Clairveaux, Bridgewater. When she
passed away in November 2009 at the age of 82, her pastor said of Merle in
their church bulletin, "Wife to our Deacon Paul Anderson, mother of
7, grandmother of 14, faithful steward of her many gifts, Merle served God
through the people of St. Bernard in many ways. As a Eucharistic
Minister, her devotion to the Blessed Sacrament was evident and
awe-inspiring. As the matriarch of the Anderson family she was a
loving support to Paul in his ministry and to her children in every aspect
of their lives and their faith... Merle was an inspiration.
Her strength, her joy in life and faith, and her acceptance of God's will
is something we can all strive toward and her gentleness was a comfort to
all fortunate enough to know and share faith with her."
