St. Michael scapular?

[thunderballs75]

Does anybody know whether there is a certain prayer the priest must say for me to wear this scapular? Or does he only have to bless it? Also, does anybody know the prayers and any other requirements? Thank you!

I don’t have much, but I do have a starting point:

“Under Leo XIII originated in Rome the Scapular Confraternity of St. Michael the Archangel, which is attached not so much to an order as to the church in which it exists.” From newadvent.org/cathen/13508b.htm

And from religionfacts.com/christianity/things/scapular.htm:

The Scapular of St. Michael the Archangel

• Form: In outward form this scapular is different from the others, inasmuch as the two segments of cloth have the form of a small shield; of these one is made of blue and the other of black cloth, and of the bands likewise one is blue and the other black. Both portions of the scapular bear the well-known representation of the Archangel St. Michael slaying the dragon and the inscription “Quis ut Deus”.
• Order: Archconfraternity of the Scapular of St. Michael
• Origins: While this scapular originated under Pius IX, who gave it his blessing, it was first formally approved under Leo XIII. In 1878 a confraternity in honour of St. Michael the Archangel was founded in the Church of St. Eustachius at Rome, and in the following year in the Church of Sant’ Angelo in Pescheria (Sancti Angeli in foro Piscium). In 1880 Leo XIII raised it to the rank of an archconfraternity, which was expressly called the Archconfraternity of the Scapular of St. Michael.
• Use: The scapular is so associated with the confraternity that each member is invested with it.

Here is more about the Confraternity of St. Michael, but I can’t find anything about the scapular there:

Does anyone have info on this confraternity and the investment of this scapular, if there is one?
(be careful, I found an Anglican one, too)

Be very careful with that Traditio site. There is some good information there, but the folks who run it are sedvacantists and schismatics with an agenda. The so-called priest who runs it was never validly ordained, either.

A word to the wise.
