The blue and silver are the colors of Benedictine High School, and here commemorate Bishop Gries's years as President of the School. The red cross charged with a silver pastoral staff honors the patron of Bishop Roger Gries, Blessed Roger of Ellant(d. 4 January, 1160), founder and first abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Ellant in the Archdiocese of Reims. The red cross on white is the ancient flag of England, and a red cross is the principle charge on the arms of the [[Archdiocese of Reims]]; thus commemorated Blessed Roger's birth in England and death and burial in the Archdiocese of Reims. | |||
[[Heraldic literature - Ecclesiastical heraldry|'''Literature''']]: | The gold fleur-de-lis is an ancient symbol of the Blessed Virgin, and fleurs-de-lis are also prominent in the Arms of the Cistercian Order and the Archdiocese of Reims. | ||
The motto, Amari non Timeri (To be loved not to be feared) is adapted from the fifteenth verse of the sixty-fourth chapter of the Rule of Saint Benedict, which exhorts the abbot to "study rather to be loved than feared." | |||
