Archdiocese of San Antonio

Archdiocese of San Antonio The Diocese of San Antonio was created Aug. 28, 1874, and elevated to an archdiocese on Aug. 3, 1926. Above the cross is the "Lone Star" of the State of Texas.

For the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, the insignia shows the large cross of Christian faith, its center enlarged and squared to receive the cross peculiar to St. Anthony, called by heralds the TAU cross because of its resemblance to the Greek letter of that name. It is derived from the short crutch which the saint slipped under one arm to support his tired body during long vigils

. Crowning the shield is the miter, the liturgical headdress worn by bishops as a symbol of their special dignity and prominence in the church.

On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we remember where all courage begins. “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me” (Mt 16:24). Courage, for a Christian, is not a personality trait. It is a grace that flows from the Cross. Archbishop Gustavo says it plainly: “Our courage comes from the Lord.” That is why our centennial theme is not simply “courageous” but Courageous in Christ.

Ask Him for that courage today, and bring it with you to Nelson W. Wolff Stadium on November 7. AssemblySA.org.

En la Fiesta de la Exaltación de la Santa Cruz, recordamos dónde comienza toda valentía. “El que quiera venir en pos de mí, que se niegue a sí mismo, tome su cruz y me siga” (Mt 16, 24). La valentía, para el cristiano, no es un rasgo de personalidad. Es una gracia que brota de la Cruz. El Arzobispo Gustavo lo dice con claridad: “Nuestra valentía viene del Señor”. Por eso nuestro lema del centenario no es simplemente “valientes”, sino Valientes en Cristo.

Pídele hoy esa valentía y tráela contigo al Estadio Nelson W. Wolff el 7 de noviembre. AssemblySA.org.
