Ad maiorem Dei gloriam or ad majorem Dei gloriam, also rendered as the abbreviation AMDG, is the Latin motto of the Society of Jesus, a religious order within the auspices of the Catholic Church. The motto is translated into English as "For the greater glory of God".
The origin of the phrase is attributed to the founder of the Jesuits, Saint Ignatius of Loyola,
who intended it to serve as a cornerstone sentiment of the society's
religious philosophy. It is a summary of the idea that any work that is
not evil, even one that would normally be considered inconsequential to
the spiritual life, can be spiritually meritorious if it is performed in
order to give glory to God. Source Wikipedia
