«Ad Rem» A Weekly Email Message from the Prior

«Ad Rem» is our Prior's weekly email message offering news and commentary regarding the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Crusade of St. Benedict Center, and issues affecting the universal Church. In each number, Brother André Marie offers brief, ad rem ("to the point") commentary on timely or otherwise important matters.

Each number is posted online under the "In This Section" heading to the right.

A note on the name: The Latin word res, (from which we get the word rem in our title) means more than just "thing." The little monosyllable is pregnant with a whole host of concepts. From it we get ad rem, meaning "to the point"; res sacramenti meaning "the grace of the sacrament"; res publica, which gives us the word republic ("the public thing"). We even get the words real and reality from it.
