Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The main colors are blue and gold. These are taken from the arms of Pope John Paul II, who nominated the bishop to serve as Auxiliary Bishop in Miami and now as the Ordinary of Orlando. Blue and gold were also the main colors in the arms of the Archdiocese of Miami.
As is customary in the case of the priest-religious who is made a bishop, a place of honor in the shield is given to the symbol of his Congregation. Here, it is a stylized version of the familiar Passionist "sign" or badge, a heart surmounted by the Cross and the nails of the crucifixion. This indicates the fourth vow of the Passionists to keep in mind the love of God as shown for us in the dying of Jesus. The "sign" is within a branch of olive tree and palm, signifying that the Way of the Cross is the way to glory.
The two red fountains are taken from the arms of the Diocese of Springfield in Massachusetts, were Bishop Norbert was born and baptized as Leonard James Dorsey. The silver roundel is in deference to Archbishop Edward Anthony McCarthy who ordained Bishop Dorsey to the episcopacy and who also has such a roundel in his arms. Here, however, the ornament is a single shamrock, alluding to the Irish ancestry of Bishop Dorsey's family.
Bishop Dorsey has chosen some words of St. Paul of the Cross from the Passionist as motto: "Love is ingenious." The full text reads: "For the love of God is very ingenious, and is proved not so much by words as by the deeds and examples of the !overs."
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
