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 crosses near the top of the shield are a motif taken from the arms of the Diocese of Lansing, in which Bishop Sullivan was born, raised and ordained. The scallop shell of the medieval times was the universal implement of the traveler of pilgrim, serving as spoon, knife and plate and symbol of St. James the Elder, patron saint of Bishop Sullivan. A scallop shell is also part of the arms of a Sullivan family of Ireland, and thus used here to represent the name of the bishop.
The heraldic representation of the other principal Christian sacrament, the Holy Eucharist, is made through the use of symbols for the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
His motto "Lord, Teach Us;' has expressed that Christian sense of openness to the workings of God's spirit which he seeks to manifest in his own life and ministry. One of his favorite Eucharistic verses was "Unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains just a rain of wheat. But if it dies it produces much fruit" John 12:24.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
