Lo stemma e il motto sono così presentati nella pagina di www.diocesecc.org:
The personal insignia of Bishop Rene H. Gracida depicts a series of blue and silver lozenges from the coat of arms of St. Vincent Benedictine Archabbey at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where the bishop studied for the priesthood. The blue and silver diamonds give witness to the Bavarian origins of Abbot Boniface Wimmer under whose leadership at Latrobe the Benedictine Order grew in the United States.
The palm tree and the two crosses are taken from the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Miami where Bishop Gracida was serving as Vicar General at the time of his call to the episcopacy. The two parts of his shield thus serve to identify the ecclesiastical lineage of the bishop both with regard to his priesthood and his episcopacy. His motto, “Abyssus Abyssum Invocat,” taken from Psalm 41:8 (Vulgate), is translated “Deep is calling to deep” and expresses the program and spirit of the bishop who from the depth of his heart seeks to hear the word that comes from the heart of the Lord that His will may be done.
