Hi, on July 16, 2013 a group of friends did the Total Consecration to Mary (I did not do the total consecration because I did mine on 10/07/2012) followed by the enrollment in the Brown Scapular, which I took part of, but I have my doubts if we were actually enrolled or not. This is the only part the priest did:

Priest - Show us, O Lord, Thy mercy.
Respondent - And grant us Thy salvation.
Priest - Lord, hear my prayer.
Respondent - And let my cry come unto Thee.
Priest - The Lord be with you.
Respondent - And also with you.

Priest - Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, sanctify by Thy power these scapulars,
which for love of Thee and for love of Our lady of Mount Carmel, Thy servants will wear devoutly,
so that through the intercession of the same Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and protected against
the evil spirit, they persevere until death in Thy grace. Thou who lives and reigns world without
end. Amen.

THE PRIEST SPRINKLES HOLY WATER AND INVESTS PERSON(S) WHILE SAYING:

Receive this blessed Scapular and beseech the Blessed Virgin that through Her merits, you
may wear it without stain. May it defend you against all adversity and accompany you to eternal
life. Amen.

He did not say the rest of the prayers for the investiture, because he stated that this is enrolling within the spirituality of the Carmelites and our group was doing something different from their spirituality. So now I’m doubting that we were actually enrolled.
 
Whether it was an official enrollment or not, you now have a blessed Brown Scapular and can deepen your prayer commitment to Our Lord and Our Lady. As you do so you will receive blessings and be inspired to grow closer to her and her Son.
 
I wonder this too since no priest has ever used the formula of blessing for it and I have asked to be invested twice and neither time the blessings were said right or maybe I have high standards?
