Palanca is defined more fully in the Cursillo Leaders Manual. From page 32:

“Whenever we speak of working for conversion, for the Christian betterment of individuals, or for the Christianization of environments, it is indispensable – as the first and the most basic step underlying all other human efforts – to count on the help of grace from God, which has to be begged for with the all-powerful strength of prayer that is humble, confident, and unceasing.

Today, perhaps more than ever before, it is absolutely urgent to remember that without Him we are nothing, we are worth nothing, we can do nothing. We must, before anything else, reaffirm the primacy that the Cursillo strategy has always given, as its most important characteristic, to Palanca (prayer, sacrifice, and works of mercy). Dependence on this has to be real, sincere and permanent, individual and communal, to guarantee the efficacy of any other steps one takes. The truth is founded on the promise of Christ: ‘Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.’ (Mt 7:7)”
