ARCHBISHOP JOSE H. GOMEZ Tuesday, April 6, 2010

I hope you’ll forgive me if my comments are brief.  This is the kind of moment that for me, words cannot fully describe my feelings. 
I’m very grateful to the Holy Father for giving me this opportunity to serve the Church with a mentor and leader like Cardinal Roger
Mahony. I’m grateful to the apostolic nuncio, Archbishop Pietro Sambi, for supporting the Holy Father’s confidence in me. I will try
with all my strength to earn that trust. 
I’m especially grateful -- very deeply grateful -- to Cardinal Mahony himself and to my brother bishops, priests and deacons here in
Los Angeles, for the warmth and good will they’ve shown me since learning of my appointment.
After I received the news of my appointment, I went to the Chapel to spend some time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. I asked
for the grace to be generous and to give myself totally to God’s call. But I also asked for the strength to accept this new task, which is
undoubtedly overwhelming. My only consolation is the fact that God is calling me and He is merciful and will help me to be faithful
and to serve His people in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
