The Order's establishment began according to the Foundress of the Order, Reverend Mother María Concepción of the Nativity and the Perpetual Help of Mary, when she was still a young girl. The Order of Atonement of the Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary is not related to or an offshoot of the Minim (religious order) also called the Minimi or Order of Minims, (abbreviated O.M.) who are members of a Roman Catholic religious order of Franciscan friars founded by Saint Francis of Paola Origins In art, these colors traditionally signify both the Virginity (Red) and Motherhood (Blue) of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Wealthier women wore white since they had servants and other means to maintain perfectly white cloth. Traditionally, this color was worn by poor Jewish women as it was an earthen color. In Mexico City, in the 1970s, the locals nicknamed the Nuns: "Los Rojos" (the Red ones).
The Minim tunic is maroon, with a blue veil (or blue cowl for the men). Our Lady wears these same colors in Icons of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and many other famous icons, paintings and statues of the Blessed Ever-Virgin Mother of God. However, the Habit of the Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary has the same colors of tunic and veil (or cowl for the men) as Our Lady wears in Her Icon of Perpetual Help.
Those Franciscan Minims who profess public Religious vows receive a Religious habit, similar to the Franciscan Habit and the Carmelite Habit. Called the Order of Atonement/Work of Atonement/the Legion of Victim Souls, "Minims" as "Victim Souls" or laity] live a life in keeping with their motto of "Charity and Immolation". The Order was founded on Jin Zamora, Michoacan, Mexico by Reverend Mother María Concepción of the Nativity and the Perpetual Help of Mary. The Order of Atonement of the Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary ( mfPS) is a single (one single Order, not three like the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Dominican and Franciscan Orders) Roman Catholic active/contemplative religious order distinguished by three (3) Branches: the Men's Branch for Priests and Brothers/ Friars, the Women's Branch for Nuns and the Lay Branch for those of all ages and professions, including the sick, dying, and those children conceived but as yet "unborn" or "pre-born".
