Bernadette knew joy at times in her life and she knew great physical suffering and died at a young age. I think also of the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes at the grotto at the Pines. One Cursillo, I was preparing for a rollo and was drawn to the grotto. I stood next to Bernadette and looked at Our Lady.

God is infinite and has an infinite capacity for love and for compassion. Compassion means to “suffer with”. A compassionate person has the ability to suffer with another person who is going through a rough time. God has an infinite capacity to suffer with us yet we feel like He has abandoned us in our time of need.

In the Cursillo Movement, cursillistas often make known their palancas in a letter to the participants of a cursillo. They also express, in that letter, their friendship and wishes for the success of the cursillo. This is what we call sending palancas.

The letters and small gifts which are sometimes given during a Cursillo are Evidence of Palanca - to show that someone has been praying for the Cursillistas before or during the Cursillo. Often the evidence takes the form of a craft or hand-made item, which someone has made while praying for the recipient.

In the sense in which the word Palanca is used in Cursillo, it means the Eucharists, Rosaries, fasting, prayers, and personal sacrifices which are offerred on behalf of the Cursillistas and Pilgrims or Peregrinos.

To do palancas is to offer prayers and sacrifices. A palanca takes place in each one’s personal inner life. However, in the CM, cursillistas often make known their palancas in a letter to the participants of a cursillo. They also express, in that letter, their friendship and wishes for the success of the cursillo. This is what we call sending palancas.
