THE BROWN SCAPULAR The Brown Scapular | Garment of Grace The Thirteenth Century was a turbulent time and the Church was threatened by enemies on all sides. It was then that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock, Superior General of the Carmelite Order, on July 16, 1251, and in her hand she held the "Garment of Grace", which we know as the Brown Scapular, and She gave this promise: "Take this Scapular, it shall be a Sign of Salvation, a Protection in Danger and a Pledge of Peace. Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." - Promise of Our Lady made July 16, 1251 to Saint Simon Stock
History
"Let all of you have a common language and a common armor: The language, the sentences of the Gospel - the common armor, the Brown Scapular of the Virgin of Carmel which you ought to wear and which enjoys the singular privilege and protection after death." The Brown Scapular | A Sacramental "One of the most remarkable effects of sacramentals is the virtue to drive away evil spirits whose mysterious and baleful operations affect sometimes the physical activity of man. To combat this occult power the Church has recourse to exorcism, and sacramentals" (The Catholic Encyclopedia., 1913, VXIII, p. 293). The Brown Scapular | A True Story You will understand why the Devil works against those who promote the brown scapular when you hear the true story of Venerable Francis Yepes. One day his Scapular fell off. As he replaced it, the Devil howled, “Take off that habit which snatches so many souls from us! All those clothed in it die piously and escape us!” Then and there Francis made the Devil admit that there are three things which the demons are most afraid of: the Holy Name of Jesus; the Holy Name of Mary and the Holy Scapular of Carmel. “Modern Heretics make a mockery of wearing the Scapular. They decry it as so much trifling nonsense.” - St. Alphonsus Ligouri Mary, Mother of God and Our Mother "When Mary became the Mother of Jesus, true God and true Man, She also became our Mother. In His great mercy, Jesus wished to call us His brothers and sisters, and by this name He constituted us adopted children of Mary." - St. John Bosco Free Brown Scapular The Brown Scapular is a gift to you from Your Heavenly Mother.

The Brown Scapular | St. Alphonsus Liguori
St. Alphonsus had a very special devotion to
Our Lady of Mount Carmel and while alive
wore his brown scapular faithfully. Many years
after his death his grave was opened; the
body and priestly vestments in which he was
buried had turned to dust! But his scapular
was found PERFECTLY INTACT!
St. Alphonsus Liguori's Brown Scapular is still
miraculously intact and on exhibit in his
Monastery in Rome.
