THE COAT OF ARMS (English)
Bishop Adam has always nurtured a sound spirituality centred on the Eucharist as the real source of Christ's presence in his personal life and in the Church. The Coat of Arms expresses this central Catholic belief and points to his Eucharistic devotion as a daily reminder of the love that God shows to humanity through His Son.
The African art-work on the CHALICE and the HOST in the centre, relates to the South African geographical setting of his diocese and signifies South African cultural heritage which Bishop Adam intends to treasure in his ministry.
The FISH motif points to the concept of early Christian identity rooted in Christ Jesus which the Bishop will continue to build in his local Church. The CROSS with the heart is both the symbol of Christ's salvific work and an essential characteristic of the spirituality of the Priests of the Sacred Heart wtiich Bishop Adam adopted as his own.
His religious life, priesthood and episcopacy needs to be viewed as an ongoing invitation to answering God's call expressed in the axiom Ecce venio - "HERE I AM, I COME TO DO YOUR WILL" (Heb. 10:9). 'Ecce venio' is an expression of his willingness and readiness to endure the will of God, serving Him as a Shepherd of Christ's flock.
It is apparent, therefore, that these highlights, featured on the coat of arms, are the chief aspects of Chnst's relationship with the Church and people's relationship with one another. They also continually Inspire and shape the new Bishop's life of prayer and work.
Bishop Adam wishes a fervent fidelity to the unifying and life giving nourishment of Jesus Christ, to all the faithful of the Diocese of De Aar.

The Coate of Arms (Afrikaans)
Biskop Adam het nog altyd 'n sterk geestelike ingesteld-heid gehandhaaf, gegrond op die Eucharistie, as die ware kragbron van Christus se teenwoordigheid in sy persoonlike lewe asook in die kerk. Die wapen getuig van die sentrale Katolieke geloofs oortuiging, en wys heen na sy Eucharistiese toewyding as 'n daagiikse herhinnering van die liefde wat God aan die mensdom betoon deur sy Seun Jesus Christus.
Die Afrikaanse kunswerk wat aangebring is op die kelk en rondom die BROOD in die middel van die wapen, verwys na die Suid Afrikaanse geografiese agtergrond van sy bisdom, asook die Afrikaanse kultureie erfenis wat Biskop Adam van voomemens is om in sy ministerie uit te leef.
Die kruis met die hart in die middel van die brood, is beide die simbool van die saligheid van die werk van Christus en 'n essensiele karaktertrek van die spiritualiteit van die "Priests of the Sacred Heart" wat Biskop Adam aangeneem het as sy eie.
Die vis motief dui die konsep aan van die ingewortelde Christelike identiteit wat gesetel is in Jesus Christus, en waarop die Biskop in sy plaaslike kerk sal voortbou.
Sy godsdienstig lewe, priesterskap en biskopskap moet gesien word as 'n voortdurende uitnodiging om God se roeping uit te leef, soos uiteengesit in die aksioom "Ecce venio - Kyk ek het gekom om U wil te doen" Hebreers 10:9. "Ecce venio" dui aan op die leefwyse van Biskop Adam en sy wilskrag en bereidwillig-heid om God se wil te laat geskied, en om Horn te dien as herder van die Kerk van Christus.
Dit is dus duidelik dat die motiewe wat op die Biskop se simbolieke wapen aangebring is, die fundamentele eienskappe van Christus se verwantskap met die kerk, en die mensdom se verwantskapteenoormekaarbeklemtoon. Diekenmerkeinspireer en vorm ook die grondslag van die nuwe Biskop se daagiikse lewenswyse van gebed en arbeid.
'n Hartstogtelike wens vir toewyding tot eenwording deur die lewensgewende voedingskrag in Jesus Christus, word deur Biskop Adam toegewens aan die gemeente van die Bisdom van De Aar.
