A priest is able to substitute daily prayer of the rosary in place of the little office. Can a priest also suggest other prayers in place of the rosary?

Can you explain the substitution for the brown scapular? Thank you.

He cannot. It’s either the rosary or the little office.

I meant this, when I read on the requirements for the Rosary instead of the Little Office it read to me that this was very unusual and should not be substituted except in rare cases.

Has that changed?

No. Generally, priests will allow most people to say the rosary, since most lay people seeking to fulfill the requirements of the Sabbatine privilege are not formally associated with the Carmelite order. If he allows you to do that, it’s acceptable.

It’s not rare.

Nice, I never knew that. So, what I need to do is talk with my priest and ask him if the rosary will be okay instead of book.

If there is a carmelite in the area (within 50 miles) should I contact him or would my local parish priest be fine?

I ordered a Five-Fold Scapular that I be enrolled in. I believe it is the same prayer requirements. ihomm.org/five.html

Nice, I like that. I always wondered how I could keep multiple scapulars from getting all knotted up.

Thank you for the advice and webpages.

1 final question. I was vested into the Scapular by a Pius V priest who was ordained before the split. I am assuming my vesting into the Brown was legit.

You’re supposed to complete the requirements for each of the 5 scapulars in the 5-fold/redemptorist scapular.

I wear it.

Yet another question has arisen, i know of the brown that you have to have a blessed one when vested. Is the same true on the other 4 scapulars for 5 fold/redemptorist?

Thank you in advance

You are basically invested in each of the 5 scapulars when you are invested in the 5-fold/Redemptorist scapular. Yes, you have to get it blessed the first time, but you don’t have to have it blessed after that, similar to the brown/Carmelite scapular.

When you become invested in the 5-fold/Redemptorist scapular, you already would be wearing the brown/Carmelite scapular, so you don’t have to wear a separate brown/Carmelite scapular.
 
Thank you. Very insightful and something I am going to look into.
