(optional) song musician/s
[From the Emmaus Manual,“Following the film, the Spiritual Director’s meditation, and the Lay Director’s comments, the music leader will sing or accompany a meditative solo. The intent of the solo is to add to the experience of the meditation which focuses on knowing oneself and where one is on the journey of faith. It should be quiet, reflective, and in no way a performance. It is usually done from the back where the musician can’t be seen.”]

Song chosen to be sung before every talk --Speaker entrance song (ex. Sing Hallelujah)
De Colores
: “was written by the early participants in Cursillos who, on their way home after having heard the many talks on the many colors of God’s grace, had their bus break down near a barnyard.
Seeing the field in the spring colors of lowers and blooming trees, the iridescent colors of the roosters and chickens, and seeing a rainbow in the distance, they wrote this song, “
De Colores
,” which means
“OF THE COLORS.” There are 99 verses; undoubtedly the bus was broken down for a long time.
However, we will learn only a few verses, some in English.”


De Colores_________________
Blessings Before and After Meals: “The tradition of having grace before and after meals is a
Benedictine tradition of praying God’s blessing before the meal and thanking God for the blessing of the food after the meal.”
