THE SYMBOLISM OF SAINT RITA AND SAINT AUGUSTINE The use of the symbol is so common that everyone is familiar with it. The Stars and Stripes as the symbol for one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, and the ring as the symbol of marital love and fidelity, are known almost to everyone. The symbols of the seal of St. Rita High School have come under the eye of all its graduates, but perhaps their meanings are not too clear, These symbols are eye-words that appeal to the mind and heart by their wealth of meaning. They constitute the story behind the story of St. Rita High School, for they blend nicely the events of the lives of two great Saints, Augustine, the Founder of the Augustinian Order, and Rita, the great Patroness of the School. The center portion of the seal represents the various figures of St. Augustine. The heart burning and pierced with an arrow is symbolic of his great love for God. The crozier, cross, and mitre denote his Episcopal office. The cincture is part of the Augustinian habit, it having been given originally to St. Augustine's Mother, St. Monica, by Mary the Moth- er of God. The book is symbolic of the writings of St. Augustine and is particularly apro- pos in the seal of the School since a book in Christian symbolism has been connected with the office of teaching. The inscription Tolle lege! Tolle lege! calls to mind the time Saint Augustine was praying for the light and heard the voice of the Angel repeating these unforgettable words: Take and read! Take and read! For in following such advice he opened the letters of St. Paul and read: Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ. lRomans Xlll, l3, l4J.
