Impaled arms. Dexter: Argent, on a saltire between four crosses couped gules, as many windmill sails conjoined in saltire of the field (Archdiocese of New York). 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=== | ===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. | |||
