Pentecost Sunday is June 12th this year. To prepare our family for this day, we always like to do the Novena to the Holy Ghost. We won’t start it until the 3rd of June so that we end on 11th (the Saturday before Pentecost). I wanted to post this early so that you have it available for your use. Also this way if anyone needs to start ahead or needs to catch up, you have it available. 🙂
FYI: 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.
Since I’m a visual learner, I’m posting a video of it:

Today marks Nine Days BEFORE Christmas and this means it’s time to start our Christmas Novenas!
A perfect way to continue to prepare for the Birth of our Savior! I found one on the lovely EWTN website that I wanted to share with our readers: Christmas Novena.
To accompany this lovely Novena, on this gloomy and yucky icy day, we will be working on our kid friendly Nativity at our Domestic Church. I got it from the lovely Lacy over at Catholic Icing…I love it when she draws things and shares with us! So here is her DYI Printable Nativity….all you need is TP tubes, her print outs and the basics: glue sticks, scissors, and crayons…and voila! Okay kiddies waiting for me, gotta run!
Here’s a peek as to what this lovely printable looks like:
