``Where
the Bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be;
even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church'' Ignatius of Antioch,

Novena to the Holy Ghost
in Anticipation of the Pentecost
The
Novena to the Holy Ghost is often prayed
starting today and lasting until Pentecost (Whitsunday), in imitation of
the novena prayed by Mary and the Apostles during this same time period in
Acts 1. If this novena is prayed publicly, a partial indulgence may be received
under the usual conditions.
