The personal arms are impaled with the arms of the (arch)diocese.
 
The gold field with a red cross is taken from the arms of some British Burke family, used here to symbolise the last name of the archbishop. On it are the symbols of his baptismal patrons, Saint Aloysius, represented by a silver cross being placed on the red cross, and Saint Lawrence, who tradition tells us was martyred by the Romans by being roasted on a rack or gridiron, here shown in black.
 
On the silver chief the symbol of his religious community, the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits), which is the monogram of the Holy Name (IHS and cross) above three crucifixion nails within a crown of thorns.
 
For his motto, Archbishop Burke uses the phrase "JESUS IS LORD" to express the true Christian belief that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah and Lord of all, and that through this belief in Christ Jesus we can attain eternal salvation
