I received some free little scapular things to carry. I carry it in my coat pocket. Is that one phrase prayer all that needs to be said with this particular scapular? I also like that prayer of the 7 sorrows of Mary. Much of my prayers are Marian except for lectio divina with the daily liturgy of the word. She is to be the way to the Lord.
 
Yup.“Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.” That’s it. I always try and add one other and offer that up for all other green scapulars of the world; someone else may have forgotten to pray it.
 
Folks who have it normally pray the prayer and so everyone prays for each other, all together. 😃
 
There are other scapulars too. A brown and black scapular. And a “multicolored” scapular if that’s right. I do not wish to wear a scapular all the time in public though. The reason being that it could stir up strife or controversy. Religion can be a touchy subject. I have no problem telling people I know I am catholic but I don’t want strangers to get a wrong impression.
Some of these scapulars require wearing all the time.
 
The green scapular can be worn like a regular scapular or placed in one’s pocket? There is no prescribed method of praying and living life in accordance with green scapular rules?
 
What’s the difference in the black and brown scapular? Do they have to be worn out for everyone to see? I tell all I know I am catholic I don’t have a problem with that. But strangers can get strange first impressions. And religion is private in some ways.
 
The Green Scapular can be kept privately, in one’s pocket, or elsewhere. It’s unlike other scapulars due to it history in that it does not have to be worn.

Other scapulars as a rule must be worn. 🙂

One doesn’t however have to wear them for everyone to see, one can wear them under one’s shirt.

There’s more than one black scapular, are you asking about the black scapular of Our Lady of Seven Dolors? That’s the scapular from the Servites.

The brown scapular is from the Carmelites.
