Let us pray in expectation of Pentecost
Like Mary and the disciples, who were assiduous in prayer and waited in the cenacle for the coming of the Holy Spirit, let us also prepare ourselves for this crucial moment in the life of the Church, so that we may be ready to receive the Holy Spirit.
Also this year CHARIS proposes a preparation to better live the celebration of Pentecost.
First stage: Week of prayer
The week of prayer proposes an immersion in the Word of God so that through it our heart is converted and leaves a free space where the Holy Spirit can act as He wills and when He wills.
Second stage: Prayer Vigil
The Ecumenical Pentecost Vigil will take place on June 4 at 21:00 (Rome time) and will be broadcasted in 5 languages. Don’t miss it!
