She brought Him food and drink. She probably had His feet washed as He entered or did it herself—unlike a certain Pharisee who was once most inhospita- ble when Jesus had visited him (Luke 7:44-46). After Jesus told Martha to relax and be with Him instead of running around worrying, she probably did sit at His feet to listen along with Mary and Si- mon. She must have listened carefully because later on, when Jesus asks her if she believes He is “the resurrection and the life,” she says yes. We who tend to be anxious can learn a lot from this. Even as we are running around being anxious, we can welcome Jesus into our lives. We can do that by remembering that Jesus is in the work and in the people we serve. We can also stop a minute when we become aware that our anxiety is begin- ning to get the better of us and take that slow deep inhale imagining the love of Christ pouring inside us. Then we can exhale our worries to Him. We can say a short prayer thanking Him for being with and in us in the midst of our busy day and ask His blessings upon our work. St. Martha, pray for us.

Lifting my heart in thanks to God from whom all blessings flow, it is my joy to announce that Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Daniel Mueggenborg as the eighth Bishop of Re- no. I am also grateful to the Holy Father for his acceptance of my request to retire from my responsibilities as diocesan bishop for reasons of health. The Holy Spirit continually renews the Church. Now is a moment of renewal as we welcome a new pastor for the Church in northern Nevada. Bishop Mueggenborg comes to us from the Archdiocese of Seattle where he has served as Auxiliary Bishop. Prior to that assignment, he served as a priest of the Diocese of Tulsa. In those two dioceses he experienced diversity in commu- nities—urban, rural, suburban, cultures and landscape. He brings to his ministry many personal gifts and a variety of pastoral experiences. We are fortunate that he has been sent to us. For the past fifteen years of my tenure here, I have been the recipient of many blessings, especially in meeting, praying with, working with and serving you the people of northern Nevada. These blessings give me confidence that you will open your hearts and minds to welcome Bishop Mueggenborg. This is his new home and you are his new family in the Lord. May our hospitality inspire him to make his own the words of our state song, Home Means Nevada. Bishop Mueggenborg will be installed on September 24 in a liturgy with the Metropolitan, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, presid- ing and in the presence of Archbishop Christophe Pierre, the Apostolic Nuncio—Pope Francis’ representative to the United States. Until the installation, I will assume the duty of caretaker, having been appointed Apostolic Administrator by Pope Francis.
