“Mary was in the Upper Room with the Apostles, where they remained "confined" in fear while awaiting the gift of the Holy Spirit. I invite all the faithful of the Archdiocese of Montreal to "enter" the Upper Room with Mary so as to make a novena to the Holy Spirit, from Friday, May 22 to Saturday, May 30. The novena will conclude on Sunday, May 31 with the Feast of Pentecost.

 

“I will preside over the novena to the Holy Spirit in partnership with families and faithful at home, praying for the following intentions: a spiritual renewal within the diocese and a new breath of life for evangelization. The recitation of the Rosary begins at 7 p.m.  Let us not forget that, regardless of any confinement we might experience, God has the power to touch our hearts and manifest his love”.
