Lo stemma e il motto sono così presentati nella pagina di www.diocesecc.org:
The shield of Bishop Edmond Carmody symbolizes his family, his priestly and missionary service and his devotion to the people, especially to the poor. The green shield in the upper left corner of the bishop’s coat of arms is the color of hope and stands for his birthplace, Ireland. The gold cross that divides his shield is taken from the papal shield of Pope John Paul II and shows the bishop’s union with Rome and solidarity with the Holy Father.
In the upper right side of the shield is a silver star on a blue field. As with the coat of arms of former bishops of Corpus Christi, this star denotes the state of Texas, the site of his priestly vocation and episcopal ministry. The sprouting oak stump comes from the Carmody family crest and recalls the strength of the oak, its roots in the earth, that even though cut down to the stump is capable of generating new life. The green leaves signify new hope and life. The red of the background is for courage, readiness to suffer for the faith, even as the Carmody ancestors once were persecuted and martyred for their faith. Finally, next to the oak can be seen a condor in gold with red beak and claws on a field of green.
This majestic bird of the Andes represents Bishop Carmody’s five years of missionary service in Ecuador as a member of the Society of St. James the Apostle. The bird is strong, graceful and high flying. It is a near relative to Bishop Roberto O. González Nieves and also on the crest of the Carmody family. The red claw and beak is a sign of struggle, especially the struggle for independence by the Irish and the Ecuadorian people. By this sign the bishop seeks to ally himself with the poor and the powerless to defend and protect.
Unlike previous bishops, Bishop Carmody chose to express his motto in English—“With Christ all is Possible.” These words represent the bishop’s desire to be the instrument of Christ’s power going out to others, offering hope that is necessary to bring about needed change in people, society and the world
