The Church proposes a liturgical Novena, of biblical derivation, before Pentecost. The Roman Calendar speaks of
the days between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost Sunday as "a preparation for the coming of the Holy Spirit," a time to prayerfully consider the role and power of the Holy Spirit in the Church. The 2021 Novena to the Holy Spirit begins on Friday, May 14 and ends on Pentecost Sunday, May 23. Each Day the Novena has a Theme, a Scripture Reading, a Reflection, a Prayer and a Suggested Practice. If you would like to receive a digital version of the 2021
