In his coat of arms, Bishop Schuster has wanted to represent the two most important moments of our faith: the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, here recalled by the star of Bethlehem, and rhe Paschal candle, symbol of the resurrection of Jesus after His passion and death on the cross for our salvation.
The blue colour represents the sky, and symbolizes the ascent of the soul toward God; it recalls the celestial virtues, which raise our minds from worldly values and the things of the earth toward heaven. The gold, the most noble metal, symbolizes the first virtue, faith, for it is by the gift of faith that we are enabled to comprehend the message of love and redemption here symbolized by the Paschal candle.
Bishop Schuster chose the motto, IESUS LUX VITAE ("Jesus, the light of life"), which comes from Sr. John's Gospel when Jesus reveals himself as the light of the world saying: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. {John 8: 12)" It reflects Bishop Schuster's conviction, that in dark times, we need to look to Jesus for light and hope to guide us and give us joy and peace. The motto also echoes the passage from the prologue of St. John's Gospel where Christ, the Word of God is described as "the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has nor overcome it" {John I :4-S).
