Mass of Installation of the Most Reverend James R. Golka as the 6th Archbishop of Denver
Key themes of Archbishop Golka’s homily as reported by Denver Catholic:
Mission Received, Mission Given:
Actively go out and do what God desires!
“Yes” to God’s Will: He expressed a hope that “every Christian, every Catholic [is] trying to live according to the will of God”.
Intimacy with Jesus: “Know Jesus more deeply,” and “listen to his Word and go on mission”.
Trust in God’s Power: The Archbishop shared a personal story about a, initially, dying man in Nebraska he ministered to during the COVID-19 pandemic, who miraculously woke up, illustrating a need to “do what the church asks… and then trust God to do the rest”.
Focus on the Divine Shepherd: “The main archbishop of this diocese is not James Golka. It is Jesus Christ”.
