Title:
Those in the Church who are proud or ambitious are like fish which dart about excitedly and travel far but are in danger from larger fish. Humble people who are faithful to their duties without noise or ostentation resemble those lowly creatures, outwardly dull, who live more safely on the ocean floor and also fulfil their purpose.

Title:
Tiny human beings are sometimes aborted at sea, on a ship with an operating theatre where women can go to avoid opposition. It is terrible, in God's sight, that tiny infants are discarded with no more sadness than that shown for the many fish which are thrown overboard, elsewhere, by fishermen who have used up their quotas.

Title:
There are people who tell us how their hearts ache for the sufferings inflicted upon living creatures: battery hens, fish, birds, and dancing bears. How many of them have an equal or greater concern for the suffering of the living babies in their mother's wombs: babies poisoned or dismembered in abortion?
Code: T-10770D-CW
Title:
God loves, as His Creation, the whole of the natural world: bright oceans teaming with life, with whales' waterspouts, and waves glinting in the sunlight, as shoals of fish circle underwater. Flocks of birds soar through the bright sky in the sweet, breezy air, and His glory shines over all. God delights in our love for Him even more than He delights in His Creation.
Code: T-02575-CW-X2
Title:
The hierarchical ordering of creation is part of the plan of God our Creator, with human beings 'higher' than fish and animals. Man and woman are equally important in God's sight, and designed to come together for a life-long union and the creation of children in a union properly called marriage.
Code: T-08129B-CW
Title:
We must be kind to everyone, especially when a person is agonising over a major problem, knowing what to do, to please God, to act justly, and to correct his appalling behaviour. He is like a fish on a hook, wriggling, in torment. He dreads the humiliation involved, though he now wants to do right.
Code: T-11887-CW
Title:
We must pray with fervour, that everyone will see the truth: that from Christ, (and from His chosen Apostles) has come a river of redeemed humanity: each person forgiven and transformed by grace - except for those who now resemble dead fish floating in that river because they deserted Christ, whether through deliberate mortal sin or ceasing to believe in Him.
Code: T-12756-CW
Title:
Someone who searches avidly for new devotions is like a fish which searches for food, day after day, on the Barrier Reef. We need spiritual 'food', but also to make time for our everyday duties, and for care of our neighbour.
Code: T-06127-BW
Title:
We are right to be kind to everyone; yet if we are wise, we will make prudent decisions in dealing with anyone who cares nothing for us and 'plays' with our emotions as with a fish on a line.
