3 reasons why you should consider wearing a scapular
1. Devotion and Commitment: Wearing a scapular is a sign of your devotion to Mary and a commitment to living a Christian life. It represents a deeper relationship with Mary and a desire to follow her virtues (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 971).
2. Spiritual Benefits and Protection: The scapular offers spiritual benefits and protection through the prayers and intercessions of the Church. It is closely associated with Mary's protective care (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1667-1670).
3. Mary’s Promises: The Blessed Virgin Mary made specific promises to St. Simon Stock, including the assurance of protection at the hour of death for those who die wearing the Brown Scapular. This belief is supported by the teachings and writings of the Carmelite Order (The Brown Scapular: A Way to Live Our Catholic Faith, Carmelite Order).
