How does sorrow turn to joy, water turn to wine, wine turn to the precious Blood of the Lamb? The Holy Spirit.
Friday, May 10th to Saturday, May 18th, the whole Church with the holy Apostles and Our Lady, prays a novena to ask for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church and upon all mankind.
Join us in praying the novena to the Holy Spirit, which is a litany inspired by Blessed Pope John Paul II's Encyclical on the Holy Spirit, Dominum et Vivificantem:
