Origin/meaning
As bishop of Richomond he used St. Mary and Jesus as his arms. He kept using this design for official use in Baltimore until 1911. At the same time he used different arms for personal use in Baltimore, showing the Holy Spirit above a globe.
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms now showed the arms of the diocese impaled with the new personal arms of the bishop.
The three leopards' faces are taken from the arms of a certain Gibbons family of Ireland and thus are used to represent the family name of the cardinal. The escallop shell on the baris one of the symbols of St. James the Apostle, the Cardinal's baptismal patron.
The motto is taken from the Psalm 103, verse 30: Emitte Spiritum Tuum et creabuntur, et renouabis faciem terrae, which is translated: "Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created, and thou shalt renew the face of the earth."
