The New USJ-R Seal
This
crowning inscription, Charity and Science, reflects the origin and the
goal of the University. To be the channel of love and truth is to lead
towards God, who is Himself Love and Truth, the Absolute Good.
The ribbon depicts service.
The Book and The Flaming Pierced Heart The ribbon depicts service.
The
book symbolizes the Sacred Scriptures and the teaching authority of the
Church which the University strictly adheres to. The flame illustrates
restlessness which, according to Saint Augustine, can be stopped only
when the heart has found its rest in God. Together, these symbols
portray the Christian dimension of Caritas et Scientia.
