Mini Brown Scapular with Pink Hearts
“Through the Scapular, those devoted to Our Lady of Mount Carmel express their desire to mold their existence on the example of our Mother, Patroness, Sister, Most Pure Virgin, to accept God’s word with a purified heart and devote themselves to the zealous service of others.” Saint John Paul II
We wear Our Lady’s Scapular as a loving response- A “YES”! to her desire that we keep Jesus as the center of our lives and bring Him to others.
“Loving, Mother I Place This Cause In Your Hands…”

The brown scapular is an outward sign of an inward devotion, not a magical trinket. It’s a sign of Mary’s protection, a sign that is only meaningful if it is accompanied by prayer and fidelity. Devotion to a daily rosary is the most popular prayer accompanying a scapular devotion.
In 1251, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock in Cambridge, England, and gave him the brown scapular as a sign of divine protection for his Carmelite order which was suffering oppression and hardship. In 1917, during the miracle of the sun, Our Lady appeared in Fatima as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel with the child Jesus, offering the children a brown scapular. She also appeared as Our Lady of Sorrows, together with Jesus and St. Joseph, and finally as Our Lady of the Rosary.
The rosary is our weapon and the scapular our shield. Wearing the brown scapular is a continuous expression of devotion—an exterior sign of interior fidelity.
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel promised that anyone who dies wearing the brown scapular would not suffer the eternal fire. However, just wearing a scapular is not enough. It is not a magical token. You have to be “vested” in this Carmelite devotion by a Catholic priest or deacon and, most importantly, you must uphold your end of the promise, which is to remain completely loyal to our Blessed Mother by living a life of Grace.
Once you are invested, you are vested for life. Each scapular comes with a prayer card to bring to a priest or deacon for immediate vesting.
