MIchael Welker on the Spirit of God

Powerful text about the power of the Holy Spirit from Welker's God the Spirit p. 3:
The Spirit of God makes God’s power knowable. The Spirit reveals the power of God in an on human beings and in an on their fellow creatures. The Spirit reveals this power through them and for them. The Spirit makes it possible to know the creative power of God, which brings the diversity of all that is creaturely into rich, fruitful, life-sustaining fortifying, and protective relations. The Spirit of God reveals the power of God’s mercy, which God extends particularly to the weak, the neglected, the excluded, and the infirm. The Spirit enables God’s glory to be known through creatures and for creatures precisely inasmuch as what is weak becomes strengthened, what is excluded is reintegrated, and what is infirm is enabled to stand erect and healthy.
