brown scapular

[billcu1]

I just recieved word from the vicar of priests at my diocese that diocesan priests can bestow the brown scapular. I’d like to learn at little more about it. Does anyone out there have it? Does it take the place of the rosary? It has to do with the discalced carmelites right?

Hey, I have a brown scapular. Here’s a website I found about it that seems to be accurate.

It doesn’t take the place of the rosary (It kinda does the opposite.) With permission of your priest, you can say a rosary for your daily marian devotion (as is one of the three requirements of the Sabbatine Privilege.)

The brown scapular is basically just an outward symbol of your devotion to Mary. Like any sacramental, it helps convey grace, and it also has the sabbatine privilege, which is a big plus.

It definitely works as a good as a good reminder and way to help avoid temptation, (as it’s helped me with my impurity addiction) and it’s a great way to evangelize when people see it.

I am considering getting one and becoming enrolled. I found another good web site here. By inquiring about the scapular, you are taking a bold step in your faith. Congratulations.
