Eduardo prepared many index cards for his personal use, which he frequently used as a script when he spoke. Some contain a single thought, but others constitute true outlines that are somewhat difficult to interpret for those who are not the author himself.

These index cards expose an important part of Eduardo’s thinking. It was thought that they could be rewritten in a version that was easily accessible to all, always trying to reproduce his ideas with the utmost fidelity. However, it was inevitable losing, at least in part, his peculiar and very personal way of expressing himself. The difficulty increased because the index cards were phrased, as has already been said, to help in the oral interventions and never think about their written publication.

This work was initiated by Guillermo Bibiloni, who knew Eduardo and the subject matter. He authored a “History of Cursillos,” which was incomplete due to his death. Until recently, this information had been forgotten among the innumerable works and writings of Eduardo. The manuscript was found.

This work, adapted by Guillermo Bibiloni, is the one that is published now, leaving for later the rest of the files, which continue to be reviewed. A few years ago, a booklet written by Eduardo was published with this same title. Although some coincidence is possible, the content of these first “Reflections” and “Reflections II” is different since the author did not resort to the files we know but to other sources from his archive.

Eduardo’s Thinking: “The person who loves lives twice.”
