===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The arms are based on the arms of the [[Archdiocese of Detroit]], by using the gold field with the black cross and the silver stars. It is here that Bishop Blair has served God's People as a priest, pastor and seminary faculty member. At the top of the cross are two keys crossed with a sword in the classic representation of the fathers of The Church, Saints Peter and Paul and at the bottom of the cross is a fleur-de-lys, taken from the masthead of St. Paul's Parish in Grosse Pointe Farms, where His Excellency was serving when he was called to become a bishop, and which is often used as a Marian charge. The used of the Apostolic charges, the keys and the sword, and the Marian charge, the fleur-de-lys, are a graphic ways of representing that The Church, is and must be, both Apostolic and Marian if it is to come to what Christ intended. | |||
The escutcheon refers to the Bishop's baptismal name of Leonard, is also used to honor Sacred Heart Seminary where Bishop Blair served on the faculty and as Dean of Students. | |||
The motto "PASCE OVES MEAS" is taken from St. John's Gospel (John 21:15) is the recurrent phrase given by the Risen Christ to St. Peter as He charges the Apostle to lead His Church. | |||
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. | |||
