Ad maiorem Dei gloriam "For the greater glory of God"

A.M.D.G. was frequently included in the signatures of the late Pope John Paul II and Johann Sebastian Bach. It is also the motto of the Society of Jesus, commonly referred to as the Jesuits. Many Jesuit schools ask students to write the initialism at the tops of their papers, to remind them that even their schoolwork is "For the Greater Glory of God."
