Arms (crest) of Bernard Shlesinger
Official blazon
English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms are based on the arms of the Diocese of Raleigh, North Carolina, by reversing the colors. The inescutcheon shows the Sacred Heart. The blue “M” symbolises the Virgin Mary, and is taken from the arms of Pope Saint John Paul II, symbolizing that all comes to Jesus by way of Mary.

The motto “CHRISTUM OPORTET CRESCERE” is taken from the 30th verse of the 3rd chapter of Saint John’s Gospel. In this passage, Saint John the Baptist admonishes the readers that for our deep and effective faith in Jesus, CHRIST MUST INCREASE as our intentions “must decrease.”
