You will found a new order, and you will be my witnesses throughout the world. This is your name: Servants of Mary. This is your rule: that of Saint Augustine. And here is your distinctive sign: the black scapular, in memory of my sufferings.
The Blessed Mother to the Seven Servite Founders.
Imagine the great mercy of being asked directly by the Blessed Mother to serve her!
