DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH - LUMENGENTIUM:
It is not only through the sacraments and the ministrations of theChurch that the Holy Spirit makes holy the People, leads them andenriches them with his virtues. Allotting his gifts according as hewills (cf. Cor. 12:11), he also distributes special graces amongthe faithful of every rank. By these gifts he makes them fit andready to undertake various tasks and offices for the renewal andbuilding up of the Church, as it is written, "the manifestation ofthe Spirit is given to everyone for profit" (1 Cor. 12:7). Whetherthese charisms be very remarkable or more simple and widelydiffused, they are to be received with thanksgiving and consolationsince they are fitting and useful for the needs of the Church.Extraordinary gifts are not to be rashly desired, nor is it fromthem that the fruits of apostolic labours are to be presumptuouslyexpected. Those who have charge over the Church should judge thegenuineness and proper use of these gifts, through their office notindeed to extinguish the Spirit, but to test all things and holdfast to what is good. (cf. Th. 5:12 and 19-21).
In this spirit, we now publish these charismatic songs.
