This brief work revisits two conferences given by Cardinal Vanhoye during the first international meeting on charismatic renewal organized in Asia in May, 2009. This meeting took place in South Korea, in Kkottongnae, the "village of flowers" in Korean, where a new community has been established composed of all walks of life that exhibit an apostolic activity in numerous fields, particularly the service of the poor. The author analyzes the texts of Saint Paul on charisms and charity and shows how they must come together in the life of the Spirit. He explains how to enter into a true putting into practice of the commandment of love given by God. He touches on two points in particular: the question of the link between charisms and love; then on the link between love and action, which permits him to clarify the place to give to works in the Christian life. Finally, in drawing from communion the strength to love, he shows how to live the Eucharist that is continued in each of our days. +
