You may attend a Via de Cristo only once in your life,
but you are asked to build on it the rest of your life. Some say it is "Three
days that last a lifetime". This post weekend activity is known as
the Fourth Day. Those who have attended are asked to do two things during
their Fourth Day:
- Expand their inner spiritual life through study and
congregational participation and
- Become more active Christians in
their daily lives.
The Fourth Day community offers two means of perseverance:
- Ultreya (Celebration meetings of the local community for encouragement and
study), and
- Group Reunions (small groups of men or women who meet for
a short period weekly to help one another in their quest for spiritual
growth and development).
Participation in these two activities is an
integral part of Via de Cristo and is strongly suggested but, as are all
activities of Via de Cristo, it is voluntary.
