I thought I might have been able to get omega^2 with 'in saeculo saeculorum', but unfortunately that merely means 'ages of ages' rather than 'eternity of eternities'.

Way out of my bailiwick here, but wouldn't 'in saeculo saeculorum' be "in (a) century of centuries"? And "ages of ages" be 'saeculae saecularum'? And `in saecula saeculorum' be "in centuries of centuries"? --rwg
