Day 5 of the Novena to the Holy Ghost

otherwise known as the Pentecost Novena

This is the time during which the very first novena of the Church Age was made, when Mary and the Apostles prayed from Christ's Ascension to the Pentecost, a period of nine days (Acts 1-2).

Fifth Day:
Come, O Blessed Spirit of Knowledge, and grant that I may perceive the will of the Father; show me the nothingness of earthly things, that I may realize their vanity and use them only for Thy glory and my own salvation, looking ever beyond them to Thee, and Thy eternal rewards. Amen.

Recite one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and seven Glory Be's
