Pentecost Novena Starts today

by Anton Raphael Mengs

Picture source

From EWTN: The novena in honor of the Holy Spirit is the oldest of all novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. It is still the only novena officially prescribed by the Church. Addressed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, it is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian.

This very beautiful Novena asking for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, can be found HERE.
