Sinister: Or, on a cross nowy gules, a Tau cross of the field, in the first quarter a lion rampant sable, in the fourth an urn of the same with flames issuant of the second; in the second and third quarters an ermine spot of the third. Motto: Fiat Voluntas Tua.
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 achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop, archbishop or cardinal.
The arms are based on the arms of a certain Cooke family from Ireland, which is used as a canting element for the last name of the bishop. This Cooke family used a gold field divided by a red cross with a black lion rampant in the first quarter. These elements were taken as the base of the arms of the (then) bishop.
The center of the cross bears a Tau cross for Terence, the baptismal patron of the Archbishop. St.Terence was Bishop of Iconium and a martyr of the first century.
The second and third quarters bear an ermine spot from the coat of arms of Cardinal Francis Joseph Spellman to honor the Archbishop of New York whom Cooke served as Auxiliary Bishop.
Seven tongues of flame issuing from an urn have been charged in the fourth quarter as a symbol of the Holy Spirit, Who inspired the Apostles, of whom the Archbishop is a successor, to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and to teach them all the commandments. ( Matthew 28: 19-20) . The fire, symbolic of love and the desire to serve God and men, suggests the words of Our Lord in the Gospel of St. Luke: I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and what will I but that it he kindled (12 :49).
The motto, Fiat Voluntas Tua (Thy will be done), is a phrase from the prayer in which Our Lord taught us how to pray (Matthew 6 :9-13). A motto briefly expresses an ideal, a program of life and the spirit of the one who selects it.
