MOTTO: Respice ad Mariam
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 of the bishop are based on those of the (unrelated) Flanagans of Roscommon in Ireland, which consist of a silver field bearing a red chevron charged with two golden lions. The cheeky field is a modification of the counter-company bend (diagonal bar) which composes the reputed coat of arms of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, the baptismal patron of the Bishop. St. Bernard antedated heraldry, but at the dawn of heraldry the Cistercians composed a coat of arms to honor the great saint who reformed their rule.
The motto, Respice ad Mariam (Look up to Mary), is taken from the homily of St. Bernard in Lesson V of the Second Nocturn of Matins in the Office of the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary.
