The words a bishop chooses for his motto often reflect the values, hopes and faith that shape his ministry.

In tonight’s video, Archbishop Leo Cushley reflects on the meaning behind his episcopal motto: “Amor quod praecipis” — “To love what you command.”

Drawn from the liturgy, Archbishop Cushley explains how the phrase became an aspiration for his ministry: to willingly embrace the Lord’s will and to seek to live with faith, hope and charity at the heart of leadership in the Church.

Reflecting on vocation, service and the call to follow God’s will, Archbishop Cushley shares why these words became the guiding thread of his episcopal ministry.
