Origin/meaning
These personal arms (used in Roseau) are composed of three sections. The silver field with a simple, wooden (brown) abbot's crosier honours Saint Gilbert who was an abbot and who thus represents the last name of the archbishop. The carpenter's square honours the archbishop's baptismal patron, Saint Joseph the worker.
All of these symbols are placed below a blue chief showing the Archbishop's religious order, the Redemptorists, the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. This is composed of a cross that is placed on a lance and a pole with a sponge on the end These are symbolic of the price that Christ paid for our redemption. These are placed between the abbreviations of the names of Joseph and Mary.
For his motto, Archbishop Gilbert uses the phrase "THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH". It is through the use of this phrase taken from the prophet Isaiah (Is. 12:2) that His Grace expresses his deep belief that for any of us to really accomplish anything of meaning, it must be done through, with and by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As Archbishop he impaled his personal arms with the arms of the Archdiocese.
