Green Scapular for a Protestant Friend?

[Sophia2996]

I received a Green Scapular today and decided to order a few for some of my Protesnt friends and non-practicing Catholic family members.
I’ve been fervently praying for a Protestant friend in particular for his conversion to the One True Faith and finding this Scapular seemed providential. Unfortunately, due to some personal encounters, we’ve recently lost ALL contact with each other and I have no way of hiding it in his belongings…
Should I get one in his name, and pray for him? Even thought the scapular would not be near him, are the promises still viable ?

I will let someone more knowledgeable answer your questions
and meanwhile, I will pray for your friend …

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

From the Society of The Green Scapular’s website:

“There is only one prayer that needs to be said, at least once a day: “Immaculate heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.” If the person who is the intended beneficiary of the scapular’s use does not say it, then someone else can say it in his place. The Green Scapular may be used anywhere, for anyone. The greatest graces are attached to its use, but these graces are more or less great in proportion to the degree of confidence of the person praying. This was the meaning of the different kinds of rays that fell from the Mother of God’s hands at the last apparition.”

So I don’t think it necessarily has to be near their person, based on this paragraph, but I am not entirely certain. For sure, your prayers would be helpful and beneficial to them, especially when prayed with confidence and trust.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
