Motto
DUC IN ALTUM; Symbolism
Arms
Blue is a colour associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary, and it also refers to the deep sea expressed in the motto. This idea of casting a net out into the sea, a metaphor for gathering disciples, is reflected in the net-like pattern. The red section alludes to Bishop Daniels' English and Welsh ancestry. The keys at the apex are the traditional attributes of St. Peter, and mark the fact that Bishop Daniels served at St. Peter's Basilica Cathedral in London before being named to the episcopate. Their placement at the end of the net is appropriate as Peter was himself a fisherman. The fleur-de-lis symbolizes the Blessed Virgin Mary, the principal patron of the Diocese of London, and the eagle with the nimbus is the symbol of St. John the Evangelist, marking Bishop Daniels' ordination as a bishop on the feast of St. John Lateran.
Motto
Meaning "Put out into the deep" from the Latin Vulgate version of the Bible, is a phrase in Luke 5:4 in which Jesus says "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught". Bishop Daniels chose this motto from the Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio Ineunte issued by Pope John Paul II on 6 January 2001 to mark the beginning of the third millennium.
