“Never see a need without doing something about it,” Australia’s first saint, Mary of the Cross MacKillop liked to say. Mary would have loved Monica McBrady. Monica made her Cursillo Weekend in New 
Jersey, and when she and her husband moved to Northern Virginia, they were both struck by just how much the Cursillo teams had to do to prepare for Weekends beyond the most important thing: getting to know each other so they could reflect Christ to the candidates.
Thanks to Monica and Mike, Cursillo in the Diocese of Arlington now has a pilot going in which Cursillistas beyond the team are responsible for buttons, room signs, snack tables, and the like.
Monica lives St. Mary of the Cross’s axiom: It’s not enough to see there’s a problem and complain about it. Talk is cheap. Monica teaches me the importance of acting in the Lord’s name.
Who reflects Christ to you?
