'Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam'A Fire That Kindles Other Fires
The Society of Jesus has carried a flame for nearly five hundred years through innumerable social and cultural circumstances that have challenged it intensely to keep that flame alive and burning. Things are no different today. In a world that overwhelms people with a multiplicity of sensations, ideas, and images, the Society seeks to keep the fire of its original inspiration alive in a way that offers warmth and light to our contemporaries. It does this by telling a story that has stood the test of time, despite the imperfections of its members and even the whole body, because of the continued goodness of God, who has never allowed the fire to die.
(Excerpt from GC 35)
