An Advent Vade Mecum
A vade mecum (Latin for go with me or walk with me) is a portable guidebook kept on hand for ready consultation. The season of Advent is given to help us grow in the expectation and knowledge of the unfolding in our lives of a promise that has already been made: God with us. It is our hope that this book of illuminations from the history of the Christian experience, meditations from the monks of the Abbey, and space to note what happens to you and in you during these days, will be a helpful companion on this journey we are making.
