One of the most powerful prayer practices of the Easter Season is the Pentecost Novena. It is nine days of prayer leading up to the Solemnity of Pentecost, modeled after the nine days the Apostles and disciples spent in prayer between the Ascension of Jesus and the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. I highly recommend praying a Pentecost Novena every year, opening our hearts ever more deeply to the action of the Holy Spirit.
