´gedachtenis van OLV van Zeven Smarten´...
Our Lady lamented to St. Bridget of Sweden [1303-1373]...
that very few consoled Her by meditating on Her Sorrows...
and “that the greater part of the world lived in forgetfulness of them:
‘I look around at all who are on earth, to see if by chance there are any who pity Me, and meditate upon My Sorrows; and I find that there are very few. Therefore, My daughter, though I am forgotten by many, at least do you not forget Me; consider My anguish, and imitate, as far as you can, My grief.’”
Earlier already, in the year 1239...
“for this purpose the Blessed Virgin Herself appeared to the founder of the Order of the Servites - or Servants of Mary - to ask them to institute a religious order in remembrance of Her sorrows.”
