Una de las prácticas de oración más poderosas del Tiempo Pascual es la Novena de Pentecostés. Son nueve días de oración que conducen a la Solemnidad de Pentecostés, modelada sobre los nueve días que los apóstoles y discípulos pasaron en oración entre la Ascensión de Jesús y la venida del Espíritu Santo en Pentecostés. Recomiendo ampliamente el rezar una Novena de Pentecostés cada año, abriendo nuestros corazones cada vez más profundamente a la acción del Espíritu Santo.

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.
