Parakletos. Pentecoste. Solemnity

Berkeley, Sunday, May 17, 2026 2:58 am

Solemnity: 50 days after Easter. May 24 on this day.

Day 1. May 17 3:02 am. I am starting two days late this novena. But the amazing thing is that the ten day cycle will fall on pentecost. i started those novenas on August 30, 2025. Other than one adjustment in October, probably, because I ran behind, I did not plan this situation. So, it is a great coincidence. This was the original novena, which is in the bible. Acts of the Apostles. I wrote a brief note about that in one of the earliest posts in this blog category, novena.

I will be first typing a few background things from [1], from which I will also add the prayer below. I will do the solemnity readings, and will see what else.

Prayer

Come, Holy Spirt, come!
