Deo volente

A Latin phrase meaning "God willing." I hope to reach my destination in a fortnight, Deo volente. We've had a lot of delays, but, Deo volente, we should have the estate fixed up before winter. A: "Do you reckon we'll have enough from this harvest to make ends meet?" B: "Deo volente."

God willing. People who wanted to display the piety and knowledge of Latin, the latter more often than the former, used the phrase the way we now use “hopefully.” derring
