Celebrating Pentecost Pentecost will be celebrated on Sunday 19 May 2024, fifty days after Easter Sunday. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Our Lady and the Apostles. Recorded in 2022: PRAY WITH ARCHBISHOP BERNARD - NOVENA FROM ASCENSION TO PENTECOST ‘That God may raise us up’ Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. (Lk 24:51) Lift us up with you, Lord Jesus Christ, from the sickness, suffering, fear and grief of these last months. Bless all that your body, the Church, has achieved through her worship of God and her care of God’s children. Renew the Holy Spirit among us, that, sent like your apostles, to the people of our diocese, all may contribute to the proclamation of God’s word and to the growth of God’s kingdom. Amen Thy Kingdom Come The global prayer movement runs from Ascension Day (9 May) to Pentecost Sunday (19 May) and includes the Pentecost Novena - days of intercessory prayer for evangelisation and renewal of the Church. All are invited to join the global wave of prayer calling all Christians to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know the love and peace of Jesus Christ.
