Welcoming the Holy Spirit Prayer - Strength, Renewal, Hope Just 5 minutes a day

Prayer Power Tip "[Jesus] said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” - John 20:21 It seems it was just yesterday that we celebrated a unique Triduum in our homes! Now Pentecost is almost upon us and still we are unsure about the challenges we may face in the next academic year!

As we approach Pentecost, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, we have, once again, a new opportunity to avail ourselves of the richness of our faith. Jesus did not leave us orphaned. He left so that He could send the advocate, the Holy Spirit. But we have to be open to receiving what the Holy Spirit has to offer. With that in mind, here is a Novena to the Holy Spirit that can be helpful as we prepare our hearts! Novena to the Holy Spirit The Novena would have begun on Friday, May 22nd, perhaps you have already started. If not it is NEVER too late to begin praying! One can double up, doing two per day or even making the entire Novena in a single day across nine hours.

No matter how or when, our prayers rise like incense to the Father! And we need so desperately to pray for continued guidance and discernment as we look forward to serving our youth through our religious education programs! The Novena covers the 7 spiritual gifts, but remember that Paul outlines a set of gifts of service, such as teaching, administration, prophecy, etc... ( Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12) Pray for a new gift this year, or for a greater share of a gift you already have! BE BOLD! Be Safe! Pray Well!!

We encourage you to make use of our materials for your children while they are are at home. We also humbly ask you to remember us in your giving so that we can continue to serve you.
