ex corde caritas. The school officially translate it as "love from the heart", though I suspect one could make a case (both etymologically and ideologically) for charity from the heart.

Caritas is the Latin used for Divine love, cf Amor. Loving-kindness is a common liturgical translation these days.

#God of our yooooouth, Creator, Friend,
Accept the praise we bring today,
Thy pillared flame, and moving cloud,
Have marked for us the unknown way,
Let courage still our steps attend,
And love enfooold us toooo theeee eeeeend...#

Err, yes. Ex corde caritas, indeed. My family motto is virescit vulnere virtus- Courage grows strong at a wound. Which is silly, because as any fule kno infection grows strong at a wound... :p
