Seems to refer to motivation. Reminds me of the passage about not making a show of one's giving. Considering it's from Ignatius, there's likely another level to consider, perhaps related to attachments. I want to think more about this one. Thoughts, anyone?
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam is a Latin expression meaning "for the greater glory of God." St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, used it often to remind himself that all things are from God and for God. He knew that the deepest and truest joy was to live in harmony with God's ways, and so he dedicated his every intention, effort, and action to giving God praise, reverence, and service.

Currently, I am serving as assistant to the president of Le Moyne College for Strategic Development and Leadership. The views expressed in this blog are my own.
