The motto of the college is taken from the Latin word “Divinae Consortes”, which connotes Partakers of the Divine nature, adapted from Bible 2 Peter 1:3-4 “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” The divine qualities of life on earth are to be acquired through education. CSI College for Advanced Studies, Punnakkad endeavors to grow up to its motto.
Love it was that made us
And it was love that saved us
Love was God’s plan, when He made man
Gods divine nature is Love.
Born of God’s love we must love Him
That’s why He made us to love Him.
But only when we love all men
Can we partake of God’s love.
But only when we love all men
Can we partake of God’s love.
Love is a wonderful thing
Joy in our hearts it will bring,
Where there’s true love there is God,
And where there’s God there is Love.
Christ said: Love must be a sign
By which men will know you are mine,
A new commandment I give,
Each other love as I did.
Loving God, today we are filled with hope. We ask that you share your courage so that we are ready for whatever lies ahead. May we be generous with you God, acting with love so that; when we reach out, we reach out with compassion and understanding; when we stand, we stand with strength and dignity; when we learn, we learn deeply and with commitment; when we serve, we serve with loyalty and humility; and when we still, we contemplate and reflect with gratitude. We come to you in the spirit of learning, humility and love. We are grateful to this opportunity to learn from each other and grow closer in faith. We beseech your blessing this day and days to come. In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Amen.
