Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the archdiocese impaled with the personal arms of the archbishop.
The arms are based on the arms of the city of Monterrey in Mexico, the bishop has taken the silver field with a green hill, and a rising sun as part of his arms. The additional rose is a symbol for of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patron saint of the Americas. The rose is also associated with events in the life of Saint Josemaria Escriva, Founder of Opus Dei. Bishop Gomez was carrying out his priestly ministry for Opus Dei in Texas when he was named to be Auxiliary of Denver.
The blue star is used to signify that the Blessed Virgin Mary has been designated as the Star of the New Evangelization at the beginning of the third millennium. The star is also employed to represent the great State of Texas, which has been the Bishop's home for more as 20 years.
The motto "ADEAMUS CUM FIDUCIA AD THRONUM GRATIAE", taken from the Letter to the Hebrews (Heb. 4:16), translated as "let us go forth with confidence to the Throne of Grace", expresses the Christian belief that all mankind is called to salvation in Christ Jesus. Through the salvation worked by Christ, the compassionate Priest and intercessor, God's throne has become the judgment seat from which mercy flows.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of (arch)bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
