【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2025 年05月14 日梵蒂崗城】 ─ 梵蒂岡新聞網已正式發布教宗良十四世牧徽的解釋。以下是詳細描述：
紋章
上下橫分——第一部分為藍色，中央有一朵銀白色的百合花飾；第二部分為白色，中央有一顆紅色的燃燒的心，並被一支斜箭刺穿，由一本顏色相近的書籍托起來。
盾牌上方覆蓋著一頂銀色主教冠，有三條金色帶子作裝飾，並由一條垂直的金色條紋連接。主教冠左右兩邊的紅色垂飾，配上金色流蘇和十字架，和交叉的聖伯多祿鑰匙：金鑰匙斜放，銀鑰匙交叉，兩者用紅色繩索相連。
格言
「在唯一的天主內，我們合而為一。」（In Illo uno unum）
解釋
教宗良十四世的牧徽突顯了極具神聖和聖母瑪利亞意義的象徵。在藍色底面上，代表天國之高，象徵著對聖母瑪利亞的虔敬，矗立著百合花（flos florum，花中之花），這是聖母瑪利亞的經典象徵。
在白色的背景上，展示奧斯定會的牧徽：一顆被箭射穿的燃燒的心。這個符號體現了聖奧斯的《懺悔錄》（Confessions）中的話：「祢以祢的聖言刺穿了我的心。」（Sagittaveras tu cor meum charitate tua）。
這個元素自16世紀以來一直是奧斯定會牧徽的核心，經常配上一本書，象徵著改變人心的聖言（正如它改變了聖奧斯定一樣），以及他作為聖寵之師（Doctor of Grace）贈予教會和人類的無價神學與哲學著作。
在教宗的牧徽中使用的白色（象牙白色）呼應了其他修會的牧徽，象徵著神聖和純潔。
格言「在唯一的天主內，我們合而為一。」（In Illo uno unum）源自聖奧斯定有關《聖詠》第127篇的講道集。這句話強調基督徒在基督內的合一，指出：「儘管我們基督徒人數眾多，但我們在唯一的基督內是一體」

Vatican – The Coat of Arms of Pope Leo XIV
(ANS – Vatican City) – The Holy See Press Office has officially released the explanation of the Coat of Arms of Pope Leo XIV. Here is the detailed description:
Blazon
Per fess – the division of the Stemma: In the first, azure (blue), a fleur-de-lis argent (silver white lily flower). In the second, white, a flaming and pierced heart gules (red) pierced by a diagonal arrow, supported by an open book, proper in its natural color.
The shield is surmounted by a silver mitre adorned with three gold bands joined by a vertical gold stripe. It features red lappets, fringed and crossed in gold, and is accompanied by the crossed petrine keys: the gold key in bend and the silver key in saltire, bound with a red cord.
Motto
IN ILLO UNO UNUM (“In the One Christ, we are one”)
Explanation
The Coat of Arms of the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, prominently features symbols of deep spiritual and Marian significance. In the blue field, representing the heights of heaven and symbolizing Marian devotion, stands the fleur-de-lis (flos florum, flower of flowers), a classic emblem of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In the white field, the emblem of the Augustinian Order is displayed: a flaming heart pierced by an arrow. This symbol reflects the words of St. Augustine, as recorded in his Confessions: “You pierced my heart with Your love” (Sagittaveras tu cor meum charitate tua).
This element has been a staple of the Augustinian emblem since the 16th century, often combined with a book, symbolizing both the Word of God that transforms the hearts of men (as it did for St. Augustine) and the invaluable works of theology and philosophy that the Doctor of Grace gifted to the Church and humanity.
The use of white (in the Papal coat of arms, a shade of ivory) echoes its presence in the heraldry of other religious orders and signifies holiness and purity.
The motto, “In Illo uno unum” (“In the One Christ, we are one”), is drawn from a sermon by St. Augustine, specifically his exposition on Psalm 127. It emphasizes the unity of Christians in Christ, stating, “Although we Christians are many, in the One Christ, we are one.”
