Are you any less “in Our Lady’s service” (whatever that means:shrug
while not wearing the Brown Scapular?:shrug:Sounds a bit like superstition again.
St Therese did not wear the brown scapular that you wear. The form you wear is two small square pieces of wool fabric. St Therese, as a Carmelite, wore the full scapular like I do.
When one has already been enrolled in the Scapular and has worn it it is a sign of his consecration to Mary, that he is a child of Mary who trusts in her completely. That he is in her service. That he will be a good child and go where his Good Mother directs, etc. The Brown Scapular is not the only sign of such a consecration and devotion to Mary of course. I don’t doubt the Marian devotion of some one who doesn’t wear the Brown Scapular (such as Eastern Catholic).Are you any less “in Our Lady’s service” (whatever that means:shrug
Are you somehow more resilient against the wiles of the devil while wearing a piece of wool fabric?
The reason I do not is because my scapular is part of my habit and is pictured in my post above. This is the true scapular.
Brother David, is the below part of the Carmelite tradition?
I got it from the link figs posted.
Please go to this website.
Excellent link. Thanks. This part caught my attention:
Now, I have to ask, has this always been the Carmelite understanding?
I am well aware of the difference in size between the small scapular of the laity and the full-sized scapular of the religious. My ignorance is that I thought the religious would have still worn the little scapular underneath the larger habit.
The Brown Scapular is a sign of one’s consecration to Mary. That’s where I draw my words about service. As for Our Lady directing us… this is what a good Mother does. She takes her young by the hand and leads them. What you say about Our Lady “pointing to Christ”… this is exactly what I am saying. She leads one to Christ. It would be absolutely impossible for her to lead you any where else.
Well that is certainly a shame brother. But do not worry yourself over it. Saint Louis and Saint Alphonsus have warned us of your type.
No it’s not magic but Mary said it needs to be worn
Call it superstition all you wish , but you start telling yourself it doesn’t need to be worn that defeats it’s purposeAre you any less “in Our Lady’s service” (whatever that means:shrug

Don’t get me wrong, I am a Carmelite friar and the brown scapular is a part of my habit but what is said above seems to be superstition and not what we actually teach about the scapular.
I read that when she wasn’t wearing the habit she wore the small Scapular.:shrug:Sounds a bit like superstition again.

It looks like this . . .

It is worn over the tunic.
We do not sleep in it and we surely do not bath in it.
I think this is a good discussion.
Let’s not get too blunt. But sorry Brother/Father , you are seeming that way unfortunately. One should be encouraging fellow Catholics.
Yes it may seem like superstition, but you know what I don’t actually care if I am being superstitious according to anyone here because I am doing what I know Mary wants
