3 hrs confidence: 
| seize god carpe Deum Explanation: I think it can be perfectly applied. Ex: auras vitales carpere (breathe, live, enjoy the vital breath/strength) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2008-10-29 08:06:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- carpe Dominum if you want to mean the Lord. The example before is from Virgil |

8 hrs confidence: 
| seize god cape Deum Explanation: This would be the literal translation. But if by 'seize' your intent is to include such connotations as 'know, understand, embrace, etc.', then I think that 'apprehende Deum' (or simply 'prehende Deum') would be more appropriate. |
