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 personal arms are composed in the colors of blue and silver (white) to reflect his deep and profound devotion to our Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary. The main charge in the design is a silver saltire. This charge is taken from the arms of the Archbishop's home diocese, that of the Archdiocese of New York, for the silver saltire on a red field is called a "Cross of St. Patrick," and it thus honors the titular of the Cathedral Church, the Mother Church of the See of New York.
In the upper center is a silver crescent to honor Our Lady in her title of the Immaculate Conception, patroness of the United States. On either side are flames, which are taken from a Mansell family coat of arms and thus symbolise the last name of the bishop. The also recall the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles at Pentecost.
In the base is a cross formee that has arms that are spread out, as the Gospel is to be spread throughout the world and touch all people.
For his motto His Excellency Archbishop Mansell uses the invocation, "BLESSED BE GOD." This prayer, which is taken from Psalm 68:36 and Tobit 13: 1, evokes the recitation of "The Divine Praises" and expresses Archbishop Mansell's deep belief that each of us is called to give glory and praise to God in all that we do.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of (arch)bishop.
