Magis Mentors
Magis, a Latin word meaning 鈥渕ore鈥� or 鈥済reater鈥� is related to the Jesuit Motto, AMDG (Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam), 鈥渇or the greater glory of God.鈥� Fr. Bryan Massingale describes Magis as the inner longing鈥攁 sacred, holy restlessness for that which is always out of our reach, but which beckons and allures us, and entices us to reach beyond where we are now. Magis is an inner dynamism of spirit that leaves us dissatisfied with the way things are, and calls us forward into the deep. A fundamental Jesuit value, striving for Magis encourages each person to try to do the more, the better, the greater 鈥� for God and our neighbor, not for ourselves.
