Novena to the Holy Spirit
'Traditionally, this prayer begins on Thursday nine days, hence “novena” before the Feast of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.' This period of nine days commemorates the time Mary and the disciples of Jesus spent in prayer after the Ascension and before the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. 'Please join in the Prayer to the Holy Spirit each day as we ask for the healing and renewal of our world at this time.' Updated 20/5/2020 |
