More specifically, what is shown in the middle of the flag is the insitute's
seal, made of the institute's coat of arms placed on a golden disk, whose border
is inscribed "COMPANIA DE MARIA" (top) / "JUANA LESTONNAC".
St. Joan of Lestonnac (Jeanne de Lestonnac, 1556-1640; canonized on 15 May
1949), was a niece of the French philosopher Michel de Montaigne. Following the
death of her husband, she took the coat in 1602 in a Cisterican monastery; in
1607, she founded the Company of Mary Our Lady ("Compagnie de Marie Notre Dame",
in short, "Compagnie de Marie"; Compañía de María " La Enseñanza "), a religious
order that was approved by Pope Paul V. The order has today 2,500 members living
in 17 countries. http://www.lestonnac.org/
The shield of the order has a blue background, symbolizing perseverance,
nobleness, loyalty, zeal and justice. In the middle of the shield, the Marian
monogram recalls the key involvement of Mary in the order. In the upper part of
the shield, the glorious cross is a symbol action and resurrection. In the lower
part of the shield, the rose is a symbol of love. The green branches of white
lilies surrounding the shield are a symbol of integer life and hope.
The shield is crowned by twelve stars, the apocalyptic symbol of Mary. The
shield anthem recalls in the third stanza the main elements of the shield, that
is, the lilies, Mary's name, the rose and the cross, and ended with the promise
to die for the flag if required.
