About the Tres Dias Weekend
THE PURPOSE OF TRES DIAS
TRES DIAS is an adult weekend which aims to concentrate closely on the person and teachings of Jesus Christ.
While TRES DIAS explores the basic Christian beliefs, it is best described as a spiritual encounter with Christ. Many who have attended the weekend have experienced a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Christ as they sense His love in a dynamic way.
WHAT HAPPENS ON A TRES DIAS WEEKEND?
The Spanish words “TRES DIAS” mean “Three Days.” In Northern Virginia TRES DIAS begins on a Thursday evening and ends the following Sunday evening. The TRES DIAS team leading the weekend is composed of former attendees of a TRES DIAS or similar weekend like Cursillo (ker-see-yo) who have volunteered their time for weeks of preparation by working and praying together as a unit.
There is presented in TRES DIAS the basics of the Christian life and meaning of living the Christian ideal and its application on our daily lives. TRES DIAS is centered around lay and clergy talks. Each talk is discussed by table groups. Interchange that develops in these discussions makes Christ’s teachings come alive.
The basic atmosphere of TRES DIAS is one of love, joy, Christian fellowship, singing, laughing, and worship. TRES DIAS makes future Christian experiences more fruitful because of the zestful seasoning it brings to all Christian living.
A TRES DIAS weekend can be made only once in a lifetime, therefore, it is not a substitute for a retreat nor does it have the individual solitude of a retreat.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND A TRES DIAS WEEKEND?
Just as Christ meets you at your point of need, so TRES DIAS is designed for those who desire to be strengthened in their faith and to be brought closer to Christ in their discipleship. TRES DIAS is open to Christians who are interested in deepening their walk with the Lord.
All adults, age 21 and older, are welcome to attend the weekend. There are weekends for men and weekends for women. If you are married, the husband will attend first. Wives usually attend a few weeks later. Each attendee must be sponsored by someone who has previously attended a TRES DIAS or Cursillo-type adult weekend.
THE FOURTH DAY
One’s life after a TRES DIAS weekend is called the Fourth Day. Following TRES DIAS a person is able to expand his/her own spiritual life and become a more active disciple of Christ in the world and in the church. During this time, perseverance is important. Perseverance is enhanced after TRES DIAS through contact with the TRES DIAS community. This contact is available regularly as a means for growth. Reunions of smaller groups within the local church are also encouraged so that the participants may help one another in living the Christian life.
