Origin/meaning
As common in Australian episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
Bishop Jarrett's personal arms are a green cross on a gold ground. The arms of the cross end in leaves, as if the wood of the cross is living and growing. In the arms of the cross are four red pomegranates (fruit, opened to show seeds). At the foot of the cross is a red heart. The design of the arms is inspired by a phrase in the writings of Cardinal John Henry Newman (Parochial & Plain Sermons, IV, 17) "The planting of Christ's Cross in the heart is sharp and trying, but the stately tree rears itself aloft, and has fair branches and rich fruit, and is good to look upon."
The bishop's motto is SUPRA FIRMAM PETRAM (Upon a strong rock). The phrase recalls Christ's words about the wise man who built his house upon the rock (Mt 7:24); His charge to the apostle Peter (Mt 16: 18); and Christ Himself who is the Rock (I Cor 3: 11) and living stone on which the Church is built as a spiritual house in the lives of believers (I Peter 2:4-8).
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
