As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The colors, gold and red are from the arms Cardinal [[Donald William Wuerl]], as Archbishop of Washington Bishop Fisher's principal consecrator, and under whom he serves as auxiliary bishop. The colors are used also in the arms of [[James Aloysius Hickey]]y and [[Theodore Edgar McCarrick ]], under whom the Bishop served as a priest. | |||
The embattled line that separates the two fields is taken from the tower in the coat of arms of Cardinal Wuerl. | |||
The cross bottony, found in the arms and flag of [[Maryland]] as the Calvert Cross, alludes to the Bishop's Maryland heritage. The crosses here are red, to refer to the red cross on the tower in the arms of Cardinal Wuerl. The three crosses are a symbol of the Holy Trinity. | |||
The lion of Saint Mark is a tribute to Bishop Fisher's patron saint. It refers also to the lion in the arms of Cardinal Hickey, who ordained him to the diaconate and priesthood. | |||
The motto is based on Psalm 25: 10, "His ways are faithfulness and love." | |||
