Eucharistic Adoration at City of the Lord Cenacle

Beginning Tuesday, September 7th we will start having a weekly Eucharistic Adoration Holy Hour! 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.

More details to follow!

There is a hospital bed available for anyone who might need one. Contact Dennis Ricardo ASAP
