One of my all-time favorite novenas is the novena in honor of the Holy Spirit. It 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.
In preparation for Pentecost Sunday, here are the nine posts (I’ve posted them here at Raising Little Saints in the past) of this beautiful Novena. Our eldest son just received Confirmation and he will be in charge of heading this prayer devotion for our family.
I just love the St. Andrews Christmas Novena because of it’s simplicity! My kids learn it super quick too and the non-readers pretend to read it. This prayer is called a Novena but differs a little, it’s not for the usual nine (9) days, it commences on November 30th and ends on Christmas. Here’s the page I made for them to use this year. Enjoy!
Althought this shows you Day three of this Holy Spirit Novena, today is the actual day you might want to get started on it. You would need to go to our last two posts: Day One and Day 2 to get started. Starting today will This will take you to the 11th of June, the Saturday before Pentecost.
