I was just enrolled in the brown scapular today after I decided though, it is likely I was enrolled at my first communion, I couldn’t be sure - HEY! I wanted to be SURE :p! I was curious what actions are required of me besides wearing the scapular. The priest didn’t mention; he is my spiritual director, and I assume he thought I knew because I do MUCH reading in the area of our faith. What do you do to honor your brown scapular 🤷 I read somewhere you need to do the LOTH and you can substitute 5 decades of the rosary with a priests permission 🤷 I don’t know you guys help me 🙂
 
I wear a fivefold scapular which includes the brown scapular. I think you can pray a 5 decade Rosary as the requirement for the brown scapular. I have no idea what the other requirements, if there are any, are for the fivefold scapular.
 
Do I need the permission of a priest to exchange the Divine Office for the rosary?
 
How do I get enrolled? I have read the rites, do I ask my priest to read it for me?🙂
 
The Sabbatine Privilege

The Sabbatine Privilege is a special promise extended to all who wear the scapular and are enrolled in the scapular. The privilege was approved by Pope John XXII, and was later confirmed by Pope Gregory XIII, Pope Clement VII, and Pope St. Pius V. The privilege states that those souls who keep the necessary requirements of the privilege will be released from purgatory by Our Lady the Saturday after they die. The requirements are: 1.The scapular must be worn and the wearer must be enrolled in the scapular. 2. Chastity to one’s state in life must be observed. 3. One must fast from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays. 4. You must recite the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin or the rosary everyday.

Note: The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin is NOT the same as the LOTH.
