On Friday, May 30, AMM begins its annual Novena de Misas de Pentecostés here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. 

Please join your AMM family in prayer, adding your intentions alongside theirs. The petitions you share will be entrusted to Our Lady and rest near the Shrine Altar throughout the novena, concluding with the Solemnity of Pentecost on Sunday,  June 8.

You may also burn a Votive Light — a sign of the fire of your love in the Spirit.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus assures his disciples that he will obtain from the Father an Advocate “to be with you always [and] teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” This is quite a gift! Let us give thanks for the constant companionship and spiritual guidance of the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Most Holy Trinity. May Our Lady obtain for you and your loved ones a generous share in the gifts of the Spirit to draw you ever closer to her Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
