I am the canvas, a hidden hand colours somebody on me. I placed my soul within the bond of losing it. And my beginning flowered as an End.

Altair's ability, the Manus Dei
Lord, here I am. I trust that You have an incredible plan for me. Transform me. Transform my life. Everything is on the table. Take what You want to take and give what You want to give. I make myself 100 percent available to You today. Transform me into the person You created me to be, so I can live the life You envisioned for me at the beginning of time. I hold nothing back. I am 100% available. Lead me, challenge me, encourage me, and open my eyes to all Your possibilities. Show me what it is You want me to do, and I will do it. Amen.
a prayer shared by Matthew Kelly (The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity, pages 102-103). Favorite line emphasized in bold.

Give me a sign!
Sing the words of innocence
and broken pride.
Make my conclusions fail!
Send me a sign,
heal this broken melody
Because each day I die in Hell...
Really random question: Has anyone figured out the full lyrics of the Latin choir in Kamelot's "Manus Dei"?
The Hand of God, or Manus Dei in Latin, also known as Dextera domini/dei, the "right hand of God", is a motif in Jewish and Christian art, especially of the Late Antique and Early Medieval periods, when depiction of Jehovah or God the Father as a full human figure was considered unacceptable. The hand, sometimes including a portion of an arm, or ending about the wrist, is used to indicate the intervention in or approval of affairs on Earth by God, and sometimes as a subject in itself. It is always an artistic metaphor that is never intended to indicate that a hand was physically present or seen at any subject depicted, and there are no examples of the Hand of God actually being seen in the Bible.
So I made a video of Manus Dei...
It's probably not COMPLETELY finished, but I tried.
Please don't mind the random glitches, as my editing program does that sometimes, and I cannot figure out how to reverse it.
It also may have lost some quality during the upload...bleh, just watch it I guess.
