Paul Gregory – Donor

The window recognizing the Apostle Paul consists of an open Bible and a sword behind it; the inscription in the Bible is in Latin “Spiritus Gladius” (the sword of the Spirit).

The symbol draws its meaning from the Apostle’s own words:

Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the Gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. —Ephesians 6: 14-18
