Lord, this is such a special time between our celebration of the Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. A waiting time, a praying time, a spiritual time. Our focus on Novena prayer is to ask that our certainty of Christ’s love and saving of us through his resurrection and ascension overflows from our prayers to all who do not yet know him. Help us to share this awareness of the spiritual with those in need of spiritual care. Amen
