'Miserando Atque Eligendo'

Papal Coat of Arms of Pope Francis Released Today

from ZENIT
Added to the original papal seal are a blue background along with a miter with cross keys of gold and silver along with a red cord, symbol of his pontifical office.

The emblem of the Society of Jesus, the order which Pope Francis belongs to, is placed above on the shield. The emblem is an image of a radiant sun with the letters “IHS” the monogram of the name of Christ. A cross is placed above the letter H of the monogram while three nails are placed below it.

On the bottom left hand side of the shield is an image of a star, which according to heraldic tradition, symbolizes the Virgin Mary, mother of Christ and of the Church. To the right of the star is the image of the spikenard, an aromatic plant, meant to symbolize St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church. According to spanish iconographic tradition, St. Joseph is depicted holding a branch of spikenard in his hand.

By placing these two symbols on his coat of arms, Pope Francis wished to express his particular devotion to the Virgin Mary and Saint. Joseph.

The Holy Father’s motto, “Miserando Atque Eligendo”, (Because he saw him through the eyes of mercy and chose him) is taken from a homily by Saint Bede the Venerable regarding the calling of St. Matthew by Jesus.

Saint Bede’s homily, which is read on the feast of St. Matthew, is a homage to the divine mercy of Christ, and is of significance to the Holy Father in his spiritual itinerary. According to a communique explaining the Papal coat of arms, at the age of 17, the young Jorge Bergoglio experienced in a particular way, felt the loving presence of God in his life.

“Following confession, his heart was touched but the descent of the mercy of God, who with tender love called him to the religious life, following the example of Saint Ignatius of Loyola,” the communique stated.

“Upon being chosen as bishop, Bishop Bergoglio, in remembrance of that event that began his total consecration to God in the Church, decides to choose as motto and program of his life, the phrase by Saint Bede miserando atque eligendo which he has chosen to reproduce on his own pontifical coat of arms.”

教宗方济各的徽章和格言

（梵蒂冈电台讯）教宗方济各的徽章充满了象征意义，除了教宗帽、伯多禄的金银钥匙和羊毛披带的图案与荣休教宗本笃十六世的同样外，盾牌上的图案保持了他被任命为阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯的总主教时一样。此外，教宗方济各也保留了任总主教时的格言：“因仁爱被拣选”。

教宗方济各徽章上的蓝色盾牌分为三部分，上方中央是个光芒四射的太阳，其上有个突出的红色字体IHS，就是希腊文耶稣的首三个字母，体现了教宗所属的修会--耶稣会。字母Ｈ上有个十字，其下是三根黑色的钉子。

盾牌左下方有一颗五角星，而右下方有甘松花。根据古老的纹章学，五角星象征童贞玛利亚，基督和教会的母亲；而甘松花指的是圣若瑟，普世教会的主保。在西班牙传统圣像学中，圣若瑟手中拿着一束甘松花。教宗方济各在他的徽章中安置这些图像，是要表达他特别敬爱圣母和圣若瑟。
教宗方济各的格言是“因仁爱被拣选”，这句话取自圣贝达司铎的讲道，他在评论圣玛窦被召叫的福音故事时写说：耶稣看见一个税吏，以喜爱之情看他、拣选他，并对他说：跟随我。

这篇讲道在教宗的生活中和灵修道路上有着特殊的意义。的确，在1953年的圣玛窦瞻礼之际，年仅17岁的豪尔赫·贝尔格里奥以一种非常特殊的方式体验到天主的爱临在他的生活中。他告解后深受感动，感到天主的仁慈降到他身上，以慈爱的温柔的目光注视他，召叫他效法依纳爵·罗耀拉，度修会生活。

后来，贝尔格里奥被任命为主教，他仍然记得这件事，此事标志着他开始把自己完全奉献给天主，祂的教会，并决定以圣贝达的 “因仁爱被拣选”这句话作为格言和生活方针。所以，教宗方济各有意在教宗徽章上完全保留他任主教时的格言。
