As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The sliver background represents the purity of Christ and the cross, symbol of our salvation, is in red to signify Bishop Bullock's willingness to shed his blood, If necessary, for his flock. The four roundels represent the four books or the Gospel and they are | |||
blue to signify the saving waters of baptism by which believers become part of the Body of Christ. | |||
The lower half taken from the arms of the [[Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis]]. The water represents the Mississippi River, which canies particular significance for Bishop Bullock. The Mississippi divides the Twin Cities. | |||
The morro "Grace, Mercy and Peace" is taken from St. Paul's second letter to Timothy (2 Tim, 1: 2) These words represent the qualitles that Bishop Bullock wants to mark his Episcopal ministry; grace for strength and encouragement, mercy for the lord's compassion and patience, and peace for the Peace of Christ and ultimately the eternal peace of the Kingdom of God. | |||
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. | |||
