The arms were officially granted in 2007. | |||
Thea rms are based on the gospel John 6, 5-14, which is described heraldically: the two fish (which are crossed in saltire in allusion to the presence of Saint Andrew) surrounded by the five barley loaves. | |||
One fish has a gold ring in its mouth. This refers to the legend of St. Mungo and is featured in [[Glasgow]]'s civic and ecclesiastical heraldry since the sixteenth century. This addition records that Philip Tartaglia is Glaswegian by birth and is a distinguished former pupil of St. Mungo's Academy, as well as an ordained priest of the Archdiocese of Glasgow. | |||
The colours that feature in the arms - green, white and red - correspond to the Italian Tricolour, in reference to the bishop's family origins, and to the years spent in Rome at the Pontifical Scots College, first as a student and post-graduate, from 1969-1980, and ultimately - and all too briefly - as rector from May 2004 until November 2005 when he was ordained bishop. | |||
The miraculous multiplication of the loaves and fishes has always been understood as a foretelling of the Blessed Eucharist. So this theme is ideal for a bishop appointed in the Year of the Eucharist. And all the more so as in 1980 Bishop Tartaglia defended a thesis in the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome on the Decree on the Eucharist promulgated by the Council of Trent. | |||
And no wonder that he has chosen as his motto the Latin phrase, "Da robur, fer auxilium", taken from the traditional Eucharistic hymn "O Salutaris Hostia'~ composed by St. Thomas Aquinas, with which we are so familiar. These words serve as an invocation: "Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow", - but also as a program for his apostolate in Paisley. | |||
