Its Vias condias or something like that. Something about dying I imagine. Anyone know it or what it means.

Actually is not latin, is Spanish: Vaya con Dios; literal translation would be go with God, more or less May god accompany you. The correct use of "vaya con Dios" would be: Que Dios te acompañe.

O castitatis lilium



The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom
And his toungue shall speak judgment
Blessed is the man who endures temptation
For, once he has been tried
He shall receive the crown of life
Oh, Lord, oh Holy Fire, have mercy
Oh how sacred
How serene
How Benevolent
How lovely
Oh lily of purity.


it is a gregorian chant called Lilium.

Yes, the romans used greek foreign words as we use for example latin now though, just to showcase themselfs as smart and cultivated.

I hd always thought that "Deus ex machina" meant "God out of the machine" not "God as a machine". I don't speak Latin, but I think I am right on this, because the ex is aprefix meaning out of (exodus, excomunicate, extricate, exclaim) and it is saying God is coming out of nowhere to provide a comfortable solution to an intractable problem.
