Catholic Answer The Catholic Church, as such, has no motto, although various groups within the Catholic Church, and very notably, some individuals, as noted below, had some outstanding mottos which are still widely used today. The Ora et Labora of St. Benedict is famous in monastic circles. Many people, even outside the Jesuits, head their letters up with A.M.D.G. (Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (for the greater glory of God), meaning to strive to give God more glory by always doing what is more pleasing to him. It is the motto of the Society of Jesus) or JMJ (Jesus, Mary, Joseph).
from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980 Motto. A short phrase, word, or sentence that expresses a principle, goal, or ideal of some person, cause, or institution. In this sense mottoes are an integral part of Catholic history and still serve to identify and motivate the faithful, especially in their corporate enterprises. Thus "Good wills it" was the motto of the Crusaders, "Pray and labor" of St. Benedict, "For the greater glory of God" of St. Ignatius, and "To restore all things in Christ" the motto of Pope St. Pius X.
