Introduction to the next nine days, a novena to the Holy Spirit. After the Lord's Ascension into Heaven, the Apostles and Mary gathered to pray in the Upper Room for nine days, culminating with the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. This novena seeks to be an aid as we prepare our hearts and minds to receive anew the same gifts of the Spirit that were shared with the early church.

This novena, produced by Jane Guenther, is used with her permission.
