James Misko (55), a priest of the Diocese of Austin, Texas will be ordained a bishop of February 20 and installed as the 9th Bishop of Tucson, Arizona.

Bishop Misko’s assumed coat of arms, impaled with those of the See of Tucson,  symbolizes his devotion to Jerusalem. The design suggests the ancient walls of Jerusalem and the Sheep (Lion’s) Gate, symbolizing Christ as the Lamb of God and the gateway to salvation. Marian devotion is alluded to through the blue field, and the gate also evokes Mary’s role as the living gate through whom Christ entered the world. 
  
The chief displays the flaming heart of St. Augustine, representing Bishop Misko’s devotion to the saint who is also the titular patron of the Diocese and Cathedral of Tucson, as well as an allusion to his home diocese of Austin (the name being derived from the name Augustine). The motto, Domine tuus sum ego (“Lord, I am Yours”), expresses total dependence on God. Pendant from the shield is insignia of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, another connection to the Holy Land. 

The coat of arms is nicely done and the slight violation of the the so-called tincture rule (really more of a general norm than a hard rule) can be overlooked in this case.
