Origin/meaning

The arms show the Río de la Plata, which recalls the particular biography of the bishop who has lived and developed his mission on both sides of the river. It is also the Uruguay River that runs through the diocese of Salto from north to south. The blue colour symbolizes the Virgin Mary. She covers all redeemed humanity with her mantle. The monogram IHS, is the name of Jesus. They are the first three letters of the Greek name of the Lord: ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, iota-eta-sigma. Spread by the Franciscan evangelization (San Bernardino de Siena), and later assumed by the Jesuits, it reminds us that the mission of the bishop is: "to shepherd the sheep in the name of the Lord, developing in them his office of teaching, of sanctifying and to rule. "Vatican Council II, Christus Dominus, 11.

The base of azure with stars on half moon represents the world, to which we are sent to evangelize. In the Apocalypse Christ, the Alpha and the Omega, holding in his hand the seven stars: "This is the symbol of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lamps: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, the seven lamps are the seven churches. (Rev 1:20) It is then the Church, the People of God in the midst of the world and of the peoples of the earth. The Virgin of the thirty-three orientals stands on the same starfield.

The motto Cristo es nuestra paz (Christ is our peace) is from Paul's letter to the Ephesians: "For Christ is our peace; He has united the two peoples into one, tearing down the wall of enmity that separated them, (Eph 2:14). St. Paul refers to the People of the Old Covenant and the New People of God. Christians recognize ourselves as inhabitants of every land and every country, but on their way to the definitive homeland. The motto expresses the desire to work so that, by the proclamation of the Gospel and the presence of the Church, Mother of Peoples, all men and women, without distinction, have access to a just life according to the Gospel and know God the Father in the Holy Spirit
