Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer bulletin:
They received (a) vision of our Lady, who bore in her hand a black habit while an angel held a scroll inscribed with the title Servants of Mary. She told them she had chosen them to be her servants, that she wished them to wear the black habit, & to follow the Rule of St. Augustine. From that date, 13 April 1240, they were known as the Servants of Mary, or Servites.Quoth the Holy Family bulletin:
Seven men, born at Florence, began an eremitical life on Monte Senario with a particular veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Later they preached throughout Tuscany & founded the Order of Servites of the Blessed Virgin Mary, approved by the Holy See in 1304. Alexis Falconieri, one of the seven, died on this day in 1310.'Tis also the feast of Blessed Luke Belludi, O.F.M. (circa 1200-1285): Blessed-link ūnus, Blessed-link duo, & Wikipedia-link (list).

Commentary: Isaac & Rebekah continued, the death of Abraham, & the birth of Esau & Jacob.
Genesis, 26 contains a story that is virtually identical to parts of Genesis, 20 & 21, though with Isaac & Rebekah in the roles previous played by Abraham & Sarah. The footnotes describe this as the result of two earlier sources, much as with the repeated Creation stories in Genesis, 1 & 2 or the differing accounts of the Flood in Genesis, 6 & 7. So far, there have been references to the "Yahwist source," the "Elohist source," & the "Priestly source."
