Coat of arms of Donald Wuerl

Blazon: Arms impaled. In the dexter: Quarterly azure and gules, a cross bottony over all quarterly or and argent; 1, a crescent argent; 2, three mullets of six points fesswise in chief argent; 3, as many mullets of five points fesswise in chief argent; 4, a head erased affronté and winged all argent. In the sinister: Gules, a tower or charged with a cross alisé of the field.

The motto THY KINGDOM COME is taken from Saint Matthew's recollection of the Lord's Prayer (Matt. 6:10), and represents Cardinal Wuerl's commitment to the Church's conviction that the personal effort of each believer actually builds up in our lifetime the kingdom of God.
