Going to a public school (prayers stopped around 2nd grade), it never happened. (A nice thing about public school on Long Island, NY, was that we got off for Jewish as well as Christian holidays!)

Shouldn't everything you do be for the greater glory of God? The nuns were correct to teach that.
Not what I asked was it?

No, it is not. Actually, I kinda like that practice. But it would not fly in a public school.
Not really if you are having your knuckles hit for it not being perfect enough. It is pointless as it becomes the same as rote learning or repeating mindless prayers over and over again.

Well, that is a good point. It should not have been mandatory. But if had been voluntary--I think it is nice.
It means you were at a Jesuit school. At least, they are the only ones I know to do this. I did the same at my Jesuit school in my childhood. As a child, I didn't understand what it meant to dedicate my homework to the greater glory of God, but I think it was part of the Jesuit idea that learning is not just for our future career benefit but for God's glory.
I know what school I was at. Jesuits were wrong in their beliefs.
I would hope you knew you were at a Jesuit school! I was just saying that AMDG is a mark of a Jesuit school. What it meant to me was, "I am at a Jesuit school and this is something Jesuits do." That's what I was trying to say. As far as saying that their beliefs are wrong, if you believe them to be wrong, then they themselves would tell you to follow your conscience and reject what you believe is wrong. Always follow your conscience, all else is sin. That's what they taught me. Just like Paul said to the Romans.
Not what the nuns taught but hey you were never to reject RC teachings that would lead you to hell. But I reject their false teachings. But better than going to a school which has been infiltrated by the opus dei and is now under investigation in one of our states.

Merton were there Jesuit nuns back in the day? I had always thought there were no female Jesuit Orders?
There are whole articles on female Jesuits -Bene Gesserit Sisterhood of Dune . But some of the orders followed the Jesuit ways with the focus on academic education. Which is one thing I appreciate about the nuns. They expected us all to be academic. I didn't know that outside in the other world girls were not meant to be good at Maths and science.

Is this supposed to be a joke? 🤔
Oh I see you want to respond to me and all you can be is rude. It never surprises me to find out how little RCs know about the RCC and its various groups.
Female Equivalent To Jesuits? can be found at phat mass.

Why was I being rude? Were you being rude by stating that a fictional 'sisterhood' were a Jesuit Order of nuns? You say Catholics know little about the nuns well can you name a real Order of Jesuit nuns? What were the Order that taught you?
You know that there are females who followed the Jesuits and their newpaper even says women are to be admitted. But females followed Ignatius beliefs for academic studies etc. The nuns who taught us did. No you know little about the nuns at all that taught me. I have stated in the past who I was taught by find out. Can you please put me back on your ignore list, your posts to me are rude.
Oh and apparently RCs are the only ones who can mention movie references and songs. I forgot.

Let me make this abundantly clear. You are the rude one here telling Catholics they don't anything and then citing a fictional group as if it was a Jesuit Order. I honestly don't know what your problem is.
I'll be doing that right now. I only cleared the list as I noticed mica no longer posts. I was a fool to clear that list because this is so weird talking to someone who is just so terribly rude.
