HOMILIES

The apostles were not preparing 
themselves individually for the gift of the
Holy Spirit! They were preparing themselves

together with others, and with Mary.

A straightforward way to do so is to pray the Rosary daily. The novena begins tomorrow,
Friday. Pray the Rosary from tomorrow until Saturday, the day before Pentecost. To pray the
Rosary is to pray with Mary in the Upper Room with the intention of opening ourselves more
to the gift of the Holy Spirit. We welcome the breath of the Holy Spirit that renews in us the
sense of mission, the strength of mission, and the spirit of mission to witness to Jesus Christ
in the world today.
Let us begin now to take this time, that is given to us, to pray a novena to the Holy Spirit, with
Mary, in the Upper Room.
