History Servite


Order of the Servants of Mary , also called Served in Latin
Ordo Servorum Beatae Virginis Mariae , is a beggar order of the Catholic Church . It was founded, probably in 1233 from S ette Holy Founders .

From its origins approval

Since ancient Catholic Church in many lay men and women, decide to follow the Gospel of Christ more radically. Leave their jobs lead a penitential life in their own homes or sanctuaries. Often form new religious groups that are called in the Middle Ages , "repentance," "Christ's poor," "humiliated," "beaten". Tradition has it that the Order of the Servants of Mary is born in the year 1233 to Florence. A group
seven lay abandoned its activities to retreat to the common life of penance, poverty prayer. They retire to the first Cafaggio , where today stands the Basilica of the Santissima Annunziata , then moving on Monte Senario . Soon, they also leave the mountain, and the large number of people who have joined them to establish new communities. Thus was born the convent of Siena , Città di Castello and Borgo Sansepolcro than those of Florence and Mount Senario.
For a current provision, but only made operational by the Council of Lyons II ( 1274), the Order result in the suppression, but Philip Benizi, prior general, thanks to tireless work, among which the peace operation conducted in the city of Forlì , gets to keep alive the Servants of Mary, who, by XIII century have a home now even this city. Also in Forlì
, while Philip Benizi try to restore citizenship to rebel Pope Martin IV ( 1282), a more merciful, is the famous encounter with a very young protester Pellegrino Laziosi that seems to have even slapped the Benizi. Just a stormy meeting that takes a few years later, the conversion of Laziosi Pellegrino, which then becomes the most popular saint of the whole order of the Servants of Mary.
Thirty years later, Pope Benedict XI , Dominican , in 1304, with the bull Dum levamus approves the Rule and Constitutions of the Servants of Mary. The Order has, at the time, about 250 monks, 27 convents in Italy and 4 in Germany .

The 1300 and 1400

The fourteenth century was directly influenced by the legacy of the seven founders, the last died in 1310 .
In the fifteenth century, however, the general chapter held in Ferrara in 1404 decided the moral recovery of Monte Senario. In 1430 , was born on the Observance a branch of the Order, without separating from it, tried to reform the spirituality served. This phenomenon, moreover, it was also of other orders as the Dominicans. The experience of this congregation ended only in 1570 . At the end of the fifteenth century, the convent of compliance was 26 and shortly before 1570, reached nearly 60.
In 1424, Pope Martin V , with the bubble Apostolicae Sedis Providence, ratified the organization of the Third Order now called the Secular Order of Servants of Mary, which gathered lay men and women, married or not, who had served their spirituality.
At the end of the fifteenth century, the convents ammonatavano to about 170, the brothers came in 1200 and also founded the first convent in Spain .
the fifteenth century also belongs the Blessed Bonaventure Tornielli from Forlì.

The 1500 and 1600

The sixteenth century to the Order is a troubled century was affected by the reform because Lutheran , 1517. In this century more than half of the priors General was elected directly by the pope. Moreover, the Congregation of the Observance, after several decades of conflict, the Order returned in full only in 1570.
few years after the Lutheran Reformation in Germany, many of the Order were suppressed. The Order was also present at the Council of Trent with their overall priorities. Between 1548 and 1580, we proceeded to the revision of the Constitutions of the Order.
Fra Lelio Baglioni, prior general from 1590 to 1597, began the reform implemented by the establishment of the Order of the Congregation of Monte Senario hermit. Fra Angelo Maria Montorsoli hermit in the convent of SS.ma Annunziata of Florence, wrote a letter that struck that Pope Clement VIII, in order to advance the reform, the Order imposed as prior general in 1597. At the end of the sixteenth century, the convents of the Order were 240 monks and more than 1800.
The seventeenth century is characterized by the affair between Paolo Sarpi, who was seriously opposed by the Roman Curia, first as a theologian, then, even after his death, for his History of the Council of Trent . In 1613 from Innsbruck, begins Compliance Germany will cease only 1908.
Pope Innocent X in 1652 , with the establishment Instaurandae regularis disciplinae , requires a reform forced all religious orders. For the Servants of Mary, this involves the removal of 102 convents on 261 then existing.
In this century in addition to the monks also spread the nuns and Third Order , and you have the first attempts to spread the experience of the Hermits of Monte Senario (1614 - 1623).

The 1700 and 1800

The eighteenth century shows very contrasting. In the first half of the century the Order reaches the largest number of monks in its history, about 3,000 units. At the end of the century, the suppression imposed, the Order will assist the closure of many monasteries and the dispersion of most of the friars.
In the last three decades of the eighteenth century, the Order meets a series of deletions of convents that lead to the decimation of its presence in Europe , the first of the territories' Austro-Hungarian Empire, then in France and finally in Italy. To this was added in 1778 for the Pope's disposal, the suppression of the Congregation hermit of Monte Senario. The Brazilian
between Uguccione got Quaresma Dias in this century by Pope Clement XII , Constitution for a special Third Order Regular of the Servants of Mary founded in Brazil . The
1815 marks the start of a revival of the Order, but it proves very precarious. The end of the century and the early twentieth century record, however, a slow but steady revival, which continues until the sixties the twentieth century.
orders for lack of size as the servants, the abolition laws of Italian unity government between 1848 1867 are likely to be fatal. But canonization of the seven founders in 1888 Thanks to the intervention of Pope Leo XIII , gave new hope to the Order. In this peridium, in fact, created many religious congregations of sisters, Servants of Mary seeking to be united to the Order, including Mantellate Servants of Mary. The male branch starts with difficulty to recover, among women, however, exceeded the one-dimensional monastic , begins with the decision spread. and
