Back in the 1200s in Florence there was a lot happening, the city was being torn apart and the morals were getting low. 7 noble men who were said to have seen visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, decided there was nothing left to do but to leave their life and go to the hills to live a life of solitude and prayer. They were all wealthy men with great jobs. They left enough money for their families and dependents to live and they went to dedicate themselves to prayer, fasting and extreme living. They took the names of the Servants of Mary and later became the Servites.
They found themselves having tons of visitors, so they had to move even further away.
They adopted another order who lived under the rule of St Augustine. They came together and formed a new order. In the mid 1800s they came to the United States.
7 Servites in the diffuser:
4 drops of Envision blend
1 drop of Peppermint
Envision because they could see Gods calling to live a life of solitude. Hopefully we can envision Gods plan for our lives, too. Peppermint for the energy to get moving on those plans.
