 | | But this heart is fixed upon the center of a white rose, to show that faith causes joy, consolation and peace. |
 | | The rose is white, not red, because white is the ideal color of all angels and blessed spirits. |
 | | This rose, moreover, is fixed in a sky-colored background, to denote that such joy of faith in the spirit is but an earnest beginning of heavenly joy to come, as anticipated and held by hope, though not yet revealed. |
