PENTECOST NOVENA
Nine Days of Prayer to Prepare for Pentecost
The novena in honour of the Holy Spirit is the oldest of all novenas, since it was Jesus himself who sent his apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. It is the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. We are all encouraged to join the nine days of prayer in preparation for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our world. The novena starts Friday, 27 May and ends on the eve of Pentecost, Saturday, 4 June.
