“Deus Vult” is a Latin phrase that means “God wills it.” It was famously used as a rallying cry during the First Crusade in the late 11th century when Christian knights and soldiers rallied to recover the Holy Land from Muslim rule. Over the centuries, the phrase has been used in various contexts, sometimes maintaining its historical connection to the Crusades, while at other times being used more broadly to express the idea that a particular action or event is divinely willed or ordained.
