The Bishop has, as his baptismal patron, Saint Ernest, a Benedictine abbot of the twelfth century, who joined the Crusaders, preached in Persia and Arabia, and was tortured to death at Mecca. In the absence of a specific symbol in ecclesiastical art for this saint, the shield has been charged with a fess (horizontal band) bearing two hands clasped, as a canting expression of an earnest - something of value, given in law to bind a bargain. | |||
The three stars, two above and one below.the fess, recall the [[Archdiocese of Philadelphia]] in which the Prelate was born, and the [[Diocese of Richmond]]. | |||
The tincture of the arms are red, white and blue. Blue and white are the Marian colors to honor Our Lady as Patroness of the United States; and red, white and blue are those of the arms of The Catholic University of America where the Bishop received a degree in Canon Law. | |||
The motto; Deo placere, which is translated: "To please God," is taken from the Epistle of Saint Paul the Apostle, to the Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 2. The complete verse reads: Sine fide autem impossibile est placere Deo: "Without faith it is impossible to please God." | |||
