Thread Name: Latin scholars needed...
Subject: RE: Latin scholars needed...
Well, "Let us give thanks and praise to the Lord" is:
Gratias et laudam agamus Dominum
and that we could say something like:
pro fundamentum splendidum Diedrei.
(Diedrei is pronounced Dee-DRAY-eeee). I'm sure that's not right, but it's close enough to fool most anybody. Can't say I learned the word for the anatomical bottom in seminary Latin class.... Maybe "fundamentum" would mean closer to "foundation garments."

Oh, and "gaudeamus" means "let us rejoice," as Gargoyle indicated.
