Topic: Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam


  
  Ad maiorem Dei gloriam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam or ad majorem Dei gloriam, also known by the abbreviation AMDG, is the motto of the Society of Jesus, commonly referred to as the Jesuits.
In Latin, the motto means "For the greater glory of God" and is believed to have been coined by the founder of the religious order, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, as a cornerstone of the society's philosophy.
Johann Sebastian Bach dedicated all of his work "AMDG", and Edward Elgar followed this practice on his masterpiece "The Dream of Gerontius".

Ad cuius adventum omnes homines resurgere habent cum corporibus suis: et reddituri sunt de factis propriis rationem.
Iesu Infans dulcissime, ab iniquo Herode ad mortem quaesitus, a sancto Ioseph in Aegyptum cum Matre deportatus, a crudeli caede sublatus, et praeconiis Martyrum Innocentium glorificatus, miserere nostri.
Ad mensam dulcissimi convivii tui, pie Domine Iesu Christe, ego peccator de propriis meis meritis nihil praesumens, sed de tua confidens misericordia et bonitate, accedere vereor et contremisco.

 PHILOSOPHY : On the Proof of the Divine
What formerly was called "cognitio experimentalis Dei", although deemed possible, is limited by genetico-cognitive criteria, leading up to a "desperate leap" (Kant) or a "leap of faith" (Kierkegaard), and a reevaluation of the "psychic mechanism" (Breton) advocated by surrealism and put into practice by the Dadaists.
justification is ended ad hoc, the postulate of justification is abrogated, and the unjustified sufficient ground is accepted because as it is so certain, it needs no justification.
What is added about the exemplar does not involve another cause different in kind from the efficient, for then there would be five kinds of causes.

AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM[1] the message runs, but it is a message I can no longer believe.
Five centuries later, in 1572, a supernova blazed in Cassiopeia[3] so brilliantly that it was visible in the daylight sky.
   This is what remains of a star that went supernova in the year 1054 A.D. Ancient Chinese manuscripts say that when it blew, it could be seen in the daytime sky with the brightness of the quarter moon.
