FINAL ACT IN THE CURSILLO: “MAÑANITAS”
Eduardo never stopped participating in Cursillo activities. Despite his advanced age, he was always
present at the reunion in the “Plaza de los Patines” [Public Square], where, in Mallorca, the candidates
who are going to live the Cursillo meet before leaving for the retreat house, and where they also meet
with a good amount of the Cursillistas of Mallorca, to greet and to encourage the new ones. (click

EDUARDO WITH THE POPES
The encounters with the Popes were certainly very important moments in his life. They were great meetings of joy. Eduardo trembled and emitted joy through his
pores, like a child that allows all the joy of his soul to overflow. Eduardo Bonnín was received on two
occasions by Pope John Paul II and once by Pope Benedict XVI. In 1985, Eduardo was received for the
first time by Pope John Paul II, during his participation in the Italian National Ultreya. In 2000, at the III
World Ultreya, he was received for the second time by John Paul II. In 2006, he was welcomed by Pope
Benedict XVI during his participation in the General Assembly of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, held
in Rome from September 21-23, 2006, in which he presented the theme: “The Contribution of Cursillos
in Christianity in the Renewal of the Parish.” (click
