===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
As common in Australian episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The dove on the mount holding in its beak an olive branch (Gen. 8/11), is taken from the Arms of [[Pius XII]] in recognition of Banyo Seminary. The open book and sword recall the sentiments of the motto and Hebrews 4/12: The Word of God is something alive and active, it cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely. The blue and white are the colours of the University of Leuven (Belgium), where the bishop studied. | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop. | |||
