Green Scapular

Does anyone use or know anything about the green scapular? I guess investiture is not required but it neeeds to be blessed. Can you use anyprayers while using it or does it come with a certain prayer? Would the Rosary be better?

The Green Scapular just needs to be blessed, and one should say the prayer on it every day. "Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us, now and at the hour of our death. " It does not have to be worn, it can be kept in your wallet or on your nightstand.

One can give it to another person if they are open to it, or, as in my case, I put it under the mattress on my husband’s side and prayed for him every day. A few months before he died he went to confession and received the sacraments after being away forty years.

The Rosary is excellent! You can use both. The Rosary is solid prayer with meditation that can gradually change us for the better.

Here is a site that explains it well.

As Dorthy said, it isn’t the rosary or the green scapular. The rosary is a meditative prayer, while the scapular is a prayer to invoke a special favor of Mary’s promise.

If you want a free scapular, just google “green scapular”.

May God bless and keep you. May God’s face shine on you. May God be kind to you and give you peace.
