We're the body of Christ, the living body of Christ and a body because it's visible.

It's sacramental.

Now we communicate the life of God and the love of God.

We get to communicate the dying and rising of our Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church. Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Every Knees shall bow, your weekly Catholic podcast on evangelization.

My name is Mike Gomer Gormley.

Unfortunately, I am not joined by Dave.

Too hot to handle too cold to hold Van Vickle.

It is sad, but the dude has a double ear infection.

I mean, when it rains, it pours for the Van Vickle family.

So please give your prayers out to them.

We were going to record like a year end show.

Thank you, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year type show to get us through the holidays because we both have very busy holidays.

But unfortunately for Dave and his family, Amber started having a lot more complications.

Just on the good news about her marker levels being down, they found out that she was actually having a vertebrae

that was being essentially fractured by one of the tumors or something along those lines.

Me and Dave, we didn't speak at all in the last about two and a half, three weeks. So we set a

time to record in the new year. You know, I'm leaving him alone, giving him family all the breathing room.

And wouldn't you know it the day we scheduled to record, he has this massive double

ear infection.

And it's so bad he literally couldn't hear me through the headphones.

So pray for Dave, pray for his family.

I had a wonderful Christmas.
