**I first served as a priest in Texas. That’s where I became an American citizen, and I’m very proud of that, as well.”**

Congratulations, Archbishop Gomez on going through the steps to become a citizen of the United States!

**“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.”**

Lump in my throat! Catholic Ping!
