“To the greater glory of God”,

The motto of the Society of Jesus, “The Jesuits”, as they are also known,

Founded by Ignatius of Loyola some five hundred years ago,

This feast day of celebration for Ignatius, 31 July,

Remembering his spirituality and leadership and compassion and vision,

Continuing to be inspired most every day,

To find God in all things,

To serve those most in need,

To educate the whole person,

To help bring humanity closer together,

To the greater glory of God.
