I had just bought a brown scapular, and have longed to wear one for some time now. I was reading the conditions and it states: “Observe chastity according to one’s state of life. (Married/single).” Does this mean that my husband and I will not be able to have any more childeren? SInce we desire to have more childeren, should I not wear it untill we have had all the childern we are going to have? Does chastiy in a marrage state become more of a “Natural Family Planning” kind of thing (which we practice anyway)?

To remove it, and replace it seems kind of like a “cafateria catholic” sort of thing, and I would like to know how to handle the situation. Thank you for your time, and may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
 
Hi,

All people are called to be chaste. Not all people are called to be celibate. For married people chastity consists of being faithful to their spouse and refraining from sexual intimacy with everyone else.
