St. Upper Room Novena

Nights 1 – 8 Night 9 Friday, May 22 to Saturday, May 30 Friday, May 29 Extended Pentecost Vigil 8:00 – 9:00 pm Mass 7:00 pm

Our Plan Each night of our Novena we’ll place ourselves in the Upper Room with Mary and Apostles. We’ll spend time in prayer and worship and then listen to a short, encouraging real-life testimony from a parishioner about one of nine ways the works in our life. After that we’ll have quiet time before Jesus in the Eucharist, to ask him and the Father to pour out the Holy Spirit upon us. We’ll end the evening praying the Chaplet of the Holy Spirit together as we intercede for the Church and the world, and for the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise that we would be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

What Does The Holy Spirit Want To Do In Us? The Holy Spirit creates a desire and longing for prayer. The Holy Spirit brings us real joy in a world of passing pleasures. The Holy Spirit creates a hunger for reading Scripture. The Holy Spirit stirs up a genuine sorrow for sin and desire for new life in Christ. The Holy Spirit gives us boldness and courage to live out the faith in daily life. The Holy Spirit gives us supernatural peace. The Holy Spirit brings us into a personal relationship with Jesus. The Holy Spirit gives us a sense of mission and purpose in everyday life. The Holy Spirit teaches us the truth (about God, ourselves, the world, etc.).

Most Holy Spirit, receive the consecration that I make of my entire being. From this moment on, come into every area of my life and into each of my actions. You are my Light, my Guide, my Strength, and the sole desire of my heart. I abandon myself without reserve to your Divine action, and I desire to be ever docile to your inspirations.

O Holy Spirit, transform me, more and more, into the image of Christ Jesus, for the glory of God the Father and the salvation of the world. Amen.
