The Marian Spirituality of the Medieval Religious Orders: Medieval Servite Marian Spirituality
– Father Conrad Borntrager, O.S.M.
Published in Marian Studies, Volume. 52 (2001)
By the thirteenth century, Marian devotion was so much a part of the religious culture of Western Europe that it was present in all the new religious foundations of this exciting period. Some of these religious foundations showed by their very titles that they had a special devotion to Mary, the Mother of God. One of these was the Order of Servants of Mary, or Servites as they are more commonly called today.
