Nine-Day Novena to the Holy Spirit

The next 9 days I'll post the daily prayers for the Novena to the Holy Spirit. The Novena is a way to participate in Jesus' instructions to his disciples to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit and it is typically prayed between the Feast of the Asension of Jesus and Pentacost.

Each Day [DAY 1 - DAY 9] will consist of the following:
A short introductory Prayer
Meditation
Prayer
Basic Prayers, as noted (link to the entry Basic Prayers as needed)
Act of Consecration to the Holy Spirit (link to the entry)
Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit (link to the entry)
