Charisms

The Church is big enough to hold the charismatic movement.  The charismatic movement is not big enough to hold the Church.  It is fine to be involved with this renewal, and to seek the charisms, so long as one does not put more stock in them than in the Church, nor seek them for their own sake.  They are such small things next to Love, they are nothing compared to God.  Not for nothing did St. Paul call Love the greatest of gifts and vocations.  So seek first the Kingdom, that is Christ, that all these other things might be added unto you in their proper time and place.
