This is an exciting and blessed time of year. We wish to make good use of our time and ask for all the graces that are available.
The Children's Rosary is planning a 9 day novena of Masses to begin on May 11th and conclude on May 19th for an Outpouring of the Holy Spirit into the Children's Rosary. If you would like to make a donation to help us with this effort and contribute to this gift to the Holy Spirit we would be most grateful.
Additionally we invite you to pray a Novena to the Holy Spirit.
Novena to the Holy Spirit
Dearest Holy Spirit, confiding in Your deep, personal love for me, I am making this novena for the following request, if it be Your Holy Will to grant it:(mention your request).
Teach me, Divine Spirit, to know and seek my last end; grant me the holy fear of God; grant me true contrition and patience. Do not let me fall into sin. Give me an increase of faith, hope and charity, and bring forth in my soul all the virtues proper to my state in life.
Make me a faithful disciple of Jesus and an obedient child of the Church. Give me efficacious grace sufficient to keep the Commandments and to receive the Sacraments worthily.
Give me the four Cardinal Virtues, Your Seven Gifts, Your Twelve Fruits.
Raise me to perfection in the state of life to which You have called me and lead me through a happy death to everlasting life.
I ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

The Friday after Ascension Thursday is the day Mary and the Apostles began the very first novena to the Holy Spirit. May we too begin a novena this day calling down the Spirit to blow through our hearts, families, and world as it did at the very first Pentecost. Consider including our Children’s Rosary petition in your novena:
MAY THE CHILDREN’S ROSARY, THEIR FAMILIES, THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHILDREN’S ROSARY INCLUDING OUR PRIESTS, OUR BISHOP AND OUR HOLY FATHER THE POPE BE THE EXTENDED HANDS OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER AND HER SON. MAY WE GATHER A GREAT MANY SOULS ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE FOR THE LORD. MAY WE EXPERIENCE RENEWAL OF FAMILY PRAYER AND SPREAD IT ACROSS THE GLOBE. IN A SPECIAL WAY WE ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE EACH ONE OF US ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD.
When thinking of the Holy Spirit the image of water rushing down comes to mind. One of the most powerful waterfalls in the world is Niagara Falls. Our Family had a chance to visit Niagara Falls on the way back from a Catholic Conference two years ago. The pictures included in this post were taken on the Canadian side of the falls. There is indeed great power in the water that rushes down the falls but this pales in comparison to the graces that could be poured into each of us, our families and the Children's Rosary on Pentecost. Wow! Let us not miss this chance to experience such an outpouring of grace when the Advocate comes.
