As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese paled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The lion is symbol of courage and strength. Bishop Brandt as a bishop is committed to protect with courage and strength the flock committed to his care. The black grid iron recalls the martyrdom of Saint-Lawrence (d.258), the bishops baptismal name The gold and red fields recall the fire with which Saint-Lawrence as martyred and is also an allusion to the name ¨Brandt¨from the German name ´Brand´ = fire. | |||
The motto IGNIS CARITATIS is translated with ¨With the fire of Love¨. | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001. | |||
