English: Coat of Arms U.S. Cardinal Theodore Edgar McCarrick, Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, District of Columbia.

Blazon: [1] Impaled Arms: On the dexter for the Archdiocese of Washington: Quarterly Azure and Gules, a cross botonny throughout quarterly Or and Argent between in the first quarter a crescent Argent, in the second quarter in chief three mullets of six points Argent, in the third quarter in chief three mullets of five points Argent, and in the fourth quarter a man's face bearing two angels' wings Argent. On the sinister for Cardinal McCarrick: Gules, on a cross nowy throughout Or, a crown Argent, between in the first quarter a rock Argent, in the second quarter a lion rampant Or, in the third quarter issuing from the dexter chief a sun rayonné Or, and in the fourth quarter three ermine spots, one over two Argent.

The motto "Come Lord Jesus" is part of the conclusion of the Book of Revelation 22:20, and reminds us that only through Jesus coming into our lives are we able to do good.

In pale behind the Arms is placed a gold archiepiscopal cross with double traverse, and ensigning the whole achievement is a cardinal's hat with fifteen tassels on each side disposed in five rows, all red.
