"... We must reaffirm, before anything else, within the characteristic of the Cursillo methodology, the importance which has always been given to its characteristic mark, to the 'spiritual management' or 'Palanca' (prayers, sacrifices, and acts of mercy). ..."  -- Leaders' Manual (9th Edition, 2006) pg. 147, quoting from Fundamental Ideas, #180

The local Secretariat invites our 4th Day Community to join them in offering prayer and Palanca for these specific daily intentions of the Cursillo Movement:

Monday -- National, Regional, and Diocesan Secretariats
Tuesday -- Schools of Leaders
Wednesday -- Cursillistas in the U.S.
Thursday -- National Cursillo Movement's Apostolic Actions
Friday -- Cursillo Weekends
Saturday -- OMCC (International Cursillo) Executive Committee

The 4th Day is also encouraged to consider competent spiritual direction as an aid to developing a personal Catholic spirituality.

To You, Lord, I return it. Everything is Yours; Do with it what You will. Give me only Your love and Your grace; that is enough for me. Amen.
