Raymond of Penafort

A brilliant architect of Law, this figure understood that the rules of the Church are not chains, but the "fences of the garden" that protect the growth of the soul. A long life was spent organizing the laws of faith to ensure that justice and mercy were never separated. Tradition says he sailed across the sea on his cloak after a king tried to prevent the work of God, proving that the Spirit is never bound by human decree. This represents the eternal truth that order is a reflection of divine wisdom—the patron of those who serve the law, reminding them that the law must always serve the dignity of the person.
