"AM" stands for Ave Maria, in praise of our Blessed
Mother, the Patroness of the RVM Congregation. The rays signify the light and
wisdom, which emanate from the virgin, the Mother of the Light of the world.
The sampaguita beneath the book being the national flower is symbolic of the
RVM being a Filipino Congregation. The stars represent our Lady's many virtues.
At the center of the
seal is an open book bearing the Latin inscription "Initium Sapientiate
Timor Domini" which in English means "The Fear of the Lord is the
Beginning of
Wisdom". It signifies filial fear, love, awe and profound revenue for the
Divine Source of wisdom, grace and life.
