Potens Christi Te Cogit!
it's cogIT so the omnipotent(?) Christ is the subject. Is cogere 'to know'?
'The all-powerful christ knows you'? But christi is 'of the christ' not subject, so maybe 'the power of christ knows you'? understands you?

He is compelling you by the power of Christ. This is part of an exorcism of the Catholic church. Basically he's calling you possessed. ;)
