i put the brown scapular b/c of the great love i have for it. i always wear it and truely believe through my consecration to her that she protects me and strengthens me spiritually. but the rosary is so big in my life, too. and then marian prayers because one prayer that brought me closer to her was “remember o most gracious virgin mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. inspired by this confidence i fly unto thee, o virgin of virgins my mother. to thee do i come, before thee i stand, sinful and sorrowful. oh mother of the word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer them. amen.”
