Just wondering what the main differences are… if one has the same effect as the other (the promise of being saved from the fires of hell by the BVM) and what specific promises there are for each respective one… Thanks

Thanks for asking this. I’d answer you if I could. I just received my Brown Scapular and yet I have to admit that I am somewhat clueless about scapulars, although I know Blessed John Paul II wore his Brown Scapular even during the surgery he went through after he was shot. That makes me think it is very important. I thought I knew about the Brown Scapular at least but the information doesn’t seem to have remained in my brain. 😦 I hope that someone with knowledge about this responds as I would like to know, too.

i wear the five fold because it contains the brown and its stronger material than the brown, as it constantly breaking. i find when i move around at night in the bed my weight lying on it if i move breaks it every time
i also say the 7 hail mary’s for the seven sorrows daily. which is the black scapular contained also in the five fold.

the green i give to family and friends and say the prayer for them. the difference between the green and brown is the green does not have to be worn but you say the prayer immaculate heart of Mary pray for us now at the hour of our death amen.
although the promise is more or less the same. every catholic would be wise to wear the brown scapular either as in the five fold or by it self.
you may have good intentions of praying the green scapular prayer every day but as the years pass many will let it slip.
 
can you give the brown scapula to someone or do they have to be enrolled in order to wear it??? I wear both! But would like to give a brown scapula to my sons!

yes they need to be enrolled in the brown scapular. the green does not need to be worn nor do you need to be invested in it.but the scapular needs to be blessed by a priest. you can leave it in their and your own room, or carry it in a purse or wallet.
 
About Scapulars

I have a Green Scapular between my mattress that I sleep over for protection during sleep.
Green Scapular - Well known for countless miracles of cures and conversions, the green scapular (also called a “pocket scapular”) is second in popularity to the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel. The green scapular consists of a single piece of green felt with a cord. One side of the scapular contains a picture of the Blessed Virgin, the other side contains an image of Mary’s Immaculate Heart pierced with a sword. The green scapular may be worn around the neck or otherwise worn or carried. If an individual is not receptive to the scapular, it can be placed in the room, under a pillow, or hidden from sight (even unknown to them). The confidence of the person wearing or giving this scapular is critical. In fact, the graces received come in proportion to the degree of confidence in Mary. The scapular must be blessed by a priest and the following prayer should be said at least once daily: “Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death”. If you give the scapular to someone else who won’t say the prayer, you should say it daily on their behalf. Use of this scapular is a great means of converting loved ones and may also affect a cure for the sick. Have plenty on hand and share them often.

I wear a Brown Scapular night and day.
Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel - The best known, mostBrown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel popular, and most widespread scapular is the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (also called “The Brown Scapular” and “The Scapular”). This is the scapular associated with Our Lady’s promise to St. Simon Stock: “Whosoever dies wearing this (brown) scapular shall not suffer eternal fire. It shall be a sign of peace and a safeguard in times of danger”. This brown scapular is thought to be the first the scapular and is the most favored of the Blessed Virgin Mary in apparitions. In Fatima on October 13, 1917, for example, Mary appeared as Our Lady of Mount Carmel. This scapular, which was adapted from the scapular of the Carmelite Order, has been associated with many extraordinary miracles. St. Simon Stock founded many Carmelite Communities (the Order of Carmel has been the home to a number of great saints, including St. John of the Cross, St. Terese of the Jesus, and St. Therese of the Child Jesus). The Sabbatine Privilege (which obtains for you special assistance from Mary in the form of her securing your release from purgatory on the Saturday after your death) is also associated with this scapular. To obtain this promise, an individual must meet certain stipulations *. This is an especially valuable privilege as it has been said that the average time spent in purgatory is as long as 40 years. And, as St. Caesar of Arles has said (circa 540 A.D.), “That purgatorial fire itself will be more difficult than any punishments that can be seen or imagined or felt in this life.” This particular scapular is made of brown woolen material and usually contains an image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. It requires that individuals be enrolled by a priest in the Scapular Confraternity of Mount Carmel (which occurs automatically upon the investiture by a priest). Wearers should say the Hail Mary at least three times a day and should also try to say the Rosary daily (which may be required for the Sabbatine Privilege). Everyone (including non-Catholics) should wear this scapular. Wear it yourself and encourage your family and friends to wear it too. It is a sacramental that can help lead you to holiness and can help you avoid eternal punishment. (Part of the fivefold scapular)

Note: There are various forms of investiture of this scapular. A priest must possess the faculties to perform a valid investiture (contact the appropriate Church authority beforehand to verify). When the priest invests you (or “enrolls” you) in the scapular, you are automatically enrolled in the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel or Scapular Confraternity for life. You don’t need to notify anyone. The prayer for conferring the scapular may be found in the priest’s Book of Blessings.

Finally, Scapular wearers should note that the prayer which follows, the “Flos Carmeli” has been handed down over the centuries. It is said that this prayer has never been known to fail in obtaining the help of the Blessed Mother.

“Flos Carmeli Prayer for Scapular Wearers”: O beautiful Flower of Carmel, most fruitful vine, Splendor of Heaven, holy and singular, who brought forth the Son of God, still ever remaining a Pure Virgin, assist me in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help and protect me! Show me that Thou art my Mother. O Mary, Conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee! Mother and Ornament of Carmel, pray for us! Virgin, Flower of Carmel, pray for us! Patroness of all who wear the Scapular, pray for us! Hope of all who die wearing the Scapular, pray for us! St. Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart, pray for us! St. Joseph, Chaste Spouse of Mary, pray for us! St. Joseph, our Patron, pray for us! O sweet Heart of Mary, be our salvation!*

“Ever hold in great esteem the practices and exercises of devotion to the Most Blessed Virgin which have been recommended for centuries by the magisterium of the Church. And among them we judge well to recall especially the Marian Rosary and the religious use of the Scapular of Mount Carmel.” (Pope Paul VI)*

I wear my brown scapular 24/7 except when I take a shower (unless it needs a wash, then I leave it on). To keep it from twisting all over at night I have a knot tied in it closer towards the back square. This makes is shorter over all and also keeps the back square from working its way out of my shirt.

I carry a green scapular in the rosary case I have in my purse.
 
I wear a brown scapular and have had it blessed but never enrolled. I don’t think there are any around that can do it.

I have a spare one for emergencies too.
 
any priest can enroll you download the enrollment prayers and take it to your local priest
 
wait… so let me clear this up… you need to be part of a religius order to enjoy the benefits of wearing the brown scapular???the promises printed on the scapular are pretty clear that anyone who wears it will be saved from eternal fire… just a little confused. also… would it be considered blasphemy if i hung the green scapular in the rearview mirror of my car?? thanks.

no problem putting green scapular in your car or anywhere
 
I’ve misplaced my Brown Scapular! I just can’t find it and this is the second time that I have lost it.

When I find it I am going to put it around my neck and not take it off ever. I can’t believe I’ve misplaced something so important. I haven’t even worn it yet. I wanted to find out more before I wore it but I knew it was a very good and holy item to have and so I ordered one. That’s when I lost it the first time. I lost the box it came in and everything.

I am making an appointment to see my priest for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Is it acceptable to ask him to enroll me and do whatever he is supposed to do before or after I confess? Or is this something that should be done all by itself?

Thanks for any help.
 
what does it mean to be enrolled in it? I have a brown one, and i have a brown and green one under my fella’s side of the bed to keep him safe and hope for help for him to come back to the church.

I recommend that anyone who wants to learn about the Brown Scapular of our Lady of Mount Carmel read this catechesis presented by both branches of the Carmelite order. It totally promotes the correct way to understand the Brown Scapular.

carmelitanacollection.com/catechesis.html

It also explains about the “Sabatine Privilege” and how to understand it, because how it is popularly explained is not correct.

To learn and understand this catechesis will be of great benefit to those who use this sacramental!
 
any thread on the brown scapular invarable ends up with sombody talking about not using it as a gurantee to get in to heaven, so while alive you can do as you like. of course this is incorrect and not the way to wear it
my own experience is that it is life changing, as an outward sign of devotion to BVM, and she won’t let you down.
there is no doubt that wearing it is what BVM wants us to do as she appeared at fatima holding one

I’m with you on this one. Or more like with Mary! O what Joy and confidence I feel wearing The Brown Scapular. By the way, the one I wear now is from Ireland. Mary will take control and change your life. But you have to let her make the changes. Wearing a Brown Scapular and continuing to live life as one pleases will not save you. Out of graces with mortal sin and there will be a way the scapular will be removed before death. In Graces and Mary will make sure you’ll live long enough to receive your last rites.

OK! Satan Loves people who question the beliefs of the Brown Scapular and Rosary! Why Not! He wants your SOUL! The Brown Scapular and Rosary are Mary’s protection against Satan and sin. He’ll still mess with you. But with Mary’s protection you’ll be able to reject temptation. She’ll let Satan tempt you. But he’ll get no where. And Mary will be looking on with a smile telling Satan, I could have told you so. Leave my children alone!
 
to be honest msurveyor i think the link just goes the long way around, as you would expect, to say what we are saying. Blessed pope John Paul wore the brown scapular himself from what i can recall.
i think after wearing it the graces recieved through the intercession of the BVM become clear. for me anyway
