"Palanca" means the prayer and sacrifice, which is offered to God, to obtain something.
Palanca should accompany all apostolic action. The Spanish word "palanca" means, "lever". It came to be used to describe "intendencia" (prayer and sacrifice), because a lever allows a person to move things which are beyond normal strength, just as prayer and sacrifice allow an apostle to accomplish more than otherwise be capable of.
In the English-speaking Cursillo Movements, "palanca" was adopted as a standard term because there is no word in English to describe prayer and sacrifice undertaken specifically to obtain a favour from God.
