Novena for the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit

Hello everyone, especially our visitors from the last 30 days from these countries - France, India, and the United States.

Pentecost Sunday 2018 is on May 20.  Please consider praying a novena with us, starting on May 11,  for a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, through Mary.  Here is a suggested novena:

"Holy Spirit, third person of the Blessed Trinity, Spirit of truth, love and holiness, proceeding from the Father and the Son, and equal to them in all things, I adore you and love you with all my heart.  Dearest Holy Spirit, confiding in your deep, personal love for me, I am making this novena for the following request, if it should be your holy will to grant it: (state your request)." I also request, in union with the Church throughout the world, for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, through Mary, to set the world on fire and renew the face of the earth.
The quoted portion is from https://thevalueofsparrows.com/2016/05/16/prayer-novena-to-the-holy-spirit-short/, retrieved 05/05/18.
Let us have great faith that the Lord will grant our requests.  Luke 11:13 says, "So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
Our Eucharistic Miracle comes from Gerona, Spain, in the year 1297.  In the Eucharistic miracle of Gerona, during the celebration of the Mass, a priest doubted the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. But when the time for Communion arrived, the priest did not succeed in swallowing the Host, which had transformed into Flesh in his mouth. Unfortunately the relic of the Host transformed into Flesh was destroyed in 1936, during the civil war.  See http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/english_pdf/Gerona.pdf.

God bless you!
