It means "And on Earth, peace." It is a quote from Chapter 2, Verse 14, of the Latin version of the Gospel of Luke. It is part of the scene in which an angel announces the birth of Jesus. After he has told some shepherds of the birth of Jesus and its meaning, an celestial army appears praising God and saying:

"gloria in altissimis deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae uoluntatis."

This translates to "Glory among the highest things [i.e., heaven] to God and on earth peace to men of good intention."
