This weekend, the Church celebrates Pentecost, one of the most important feast days of the year that concludes the Easter season and celebrates the beginning of the Church. As a way to help us prepare for this feast day we ask every family to pray this prayer together along with your children this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday — the three days prior to the feast.

This prayer to the Holy Spirit asks for guidance, wisdom and the gifts of the Spirit to help us live holy and faithful lives.
