Father Kubicki???s Prayer Reflection

In the 13th century, 7 very prominent businessmen in Florence, Italy were appalled at the excessive materialism and immorality of the city. They decided to take a counter-cultural stand against the excesses of the times. After receiving a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary who told them to leave the city, they left everything behind and dedicated their lives to poverty, prayer, and penance calling themselves Servants of Mary.
