The Holy Spirit is one of the three persons of the one and triune God. Just as we can sometimes turn to God the Father, or to the Son Jesus, we can also (and should!) pray to the Holy Spirit. In the Bible, the Holy Spirit was sent to the apostles at Pentecost. But before receiving it, the apostles spent 9 days in prayer; In fact, this is the first novena!
Every year, Christians make a novena to the Holy Spirit, between Ascension and Pentecost, to prepare to receive him again. But nothing stops us pray a novena to the Holy Spirit at any time of the year.
