Pentecost Novena: Here’s How to Pray the First Novena

The prayer recalls and invites Catholics to participate in the nine days that the Blessed Virgin Mary and the apostles spent in prayer after Christ ascended into heaven.

I think it so awesome, that so many of us will be praying this novena during the same time!
