This week our topic is the Holy Spirit. In his Small Catechism, Martin Luther describes the work of the Holy Spirit in this way:

"I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith."

The Holy Spirit also calls you through the Gospel, blessing you with gifts, and keeping you in the true faith.
