Update on Cathy McCormick
Cathy is still in ICU, she has been removed from the ventilator, but her oxygen levels have dropped dramatically. Continued prayer coverage
(The following is from Nancy Zotti)
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Originally, The oncologist was going to start the treatment in three weeks. When he did bloodwork yesterday, he found that calcium levels were getting high. He had Dan come in to receive medicine intravenously to try to bring the calcium down. He is concerned that the calcium is indicating that the cancer is growing. Wednesday, they did a biopsy on his bone marrow. The cancer is in the bone marrow and one other place. When we were in the hospital, we needed a miracle for the calcium to go down in a few days. Through the prayers, that miracle happened. We are asking for another miracle that the calcium will go down and stay down. They will start him on a shot and a steroid. The chemo comes in pill form, is being made and won't be here to treat him immediately. Pray, we can get the meds needed on time.
The Lord gave us Isaiah 41:19 six different times. We are standing on that Scripture. Continue to pray for a miracle and healing.
Note - In addition, please pray for Nancy's brother, Roy who is suffering from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and is in need of a lung transplant.
Thank you for your prayers. We are grateful.
God bless,
Dan & Nancy
God bless,

Eucharistic Adoration at City of the Lord Cenacle
Beginning Tuesday, September 7th we will start having a weekly Eucharistic Adoration Holy Hour at our City of the Lord Cenacle! This is open to all City of the Lord members and guests.
Bishop Olmsted's recent Apostolic Exhortation Venerermur Cernui exhorts our Diocese to enter more deeply into the transformative power of the Holy Eucharist. We are privileged at COTL to have permission from our Bishop to reserve the Holy Eucharist in our Cenacle Eucharistic Chapel.
The Eucharistic Adoration Holy Hour will begin at 7:30 PM and end at 8:30 PM. We have a few teams put together that will rotate weekly in overseeing the exposition and repose of the Eucharist. The format for the hour will be mostly silent adoration following the "Burning Bush" model.
The Burning Bush Initiative is a response to Pope St. John Paul II’s encyclical, Novo Millenio Ineunte, “to invite the whole Church to make this act of faith which expresses itself in a renewed commitment to prayer.” Its basic elements are:
- Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
- A return to the Upper Room, in contemplation of the Eucharistic mystery
- Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament through worship and praise in song
- Waiting in silent reflection to be open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit to offer petitions
- Intercession in the power of the Holy Spirit, in English and in tongues, with focus on renewal of the Church, unity of Christians, renewal of Society, encompassing the call to the new evangelization and conversion of all sinners, as well as special intentions
- Giving thanks in faith that the perfect prayers to the Father for these intentions were brought before the throne of God through this gift of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:26-27)
- Reposition of the Blessed Sacrament with an appropriate song of thanksgiving
This hour will not be a "prayer meeting" style per se, with prophetic words, sharings etc. Instead, this time will be more focused on contemplation, intercession, and adoration.
