The theme of our novena will be the Prayer of Invocation to the Holy Spirit, well known by Catholics and very relevant to Pentecost. Each day we will meditate on a passage of this beautiful prayer, which, although it has become very popular, is not new, but rather is a synthesis of the Catholic hymn Veni Creator Spiritus, composed by Benedictine monks in the middle of the 9th century.
