The Brown Scapular is one of the most powerful Catholic devotions, revealed by Our Lady to a Carmelite priest named St. Simon Stock in 1251.
Throughout the centuries many miracles have been attributed to Our Lady’s intercession, including homes that survive fire outbreaks and people escaping imminent death.
Many Catholics are curious about this devotion but shy away from it, thinking it’s too complicated.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Here’s how to get started.
1. Have a priest bless your Brown Scapular.
Our Lady promised her special protection and aid to all who devoutly wear the Brown Scapular. Your scapular must be blessed by a priest for these promises to apply.
The priest will bless your scapular and enroll you in the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular through a short, simple ceremony, making you part of the Carmelite spiritual family. Children of all ages can also be enrolled.
2. Learn how to wear the Brown Scapular.
Wear the Brown Scapular around your neck like a necklace. Place it so that one of the woolen squares is over your chest and the other is over your back. Tuck the scapular under your shirt and don’t worry if the string is showing. The scapular doesn’t need to touch the skin.
Wear your Brown Scapular at all times since it’s a sign of our Lady’s constant care. The only exceptions are while bathing or showering.
3. Be sure your Brown Scapular is comfortable.
Scapulars should be comfortable — they’re not hair shirts! We make ours out of super-soft Australian merino wool and strong, yet gentle American paracord. Many of our customers say they hardly notice they’re wearing it!
At Scapulars.com, we believe that our Lady’s promises are unbreakable, so scapulars should likewise hold up over time.
