Final version of Pope Francis’ coat of arms

Image

The draft version of Pope Francis’ coat of arms had been finalised, with minor changes that improves greatly upon the draft version. The golden star is altered from a five-pointed star into an 8-pointed star representing the Blessed Virgin Mary, and with the spikenard flower, which is used in perfumes, being the symbol of St. Joseph, more accurately drawn. Finally, the motto “Miserando atque Eligendo” is encased in a scroll.

This should be the finalised official version of Pope Francis’ coat of arms, though variations may exist in different forms.

Indonesian version of my main blog and future versions for the Evangelisation of the Faith

I have created a version of my blog in the Indonesian language, which is the language of the country of my birth. As I realised that many Catholics in Indonesia are not able to understand English, this will enable my blog to reach out to more people, particularly Indonesian Catholics.

In the similar way, I am planning to establish other versions of my blog in Latin and Italian once I am competent enough in both languages, and in the long term maybe French, Spanish, Portuguese, and even Chinese and Japanese, to allow the Word of God and the faith to be spread to more people around the world, particularly those from non-English speaking background.

The version of the Bible used – Christian Community Bible (Catholic Pastoral Edition)

The version of the Bible I used is the Christian Community Bible, Catholic Pastoral Edition, purchased at the Catholic Bookstore of the Parish Church of the Holy Cross, Archdiocese of Singapore.
