The Scapular is a mirror of the humility and purity of Mary: through her simplicity she invites us to live modestly and in purity. By wearing the Scapular day and night, it becomes a sign
of our constant prayer and of our special dedication to the love and service of the Virgin Mary.” – The Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Catechesis and ritual.
“Therefore two truths are evoked by the sign of the Scapular: on the one hand, the constant protection of the Blessed Virgin, on the other, the awareness that devotion to her cannot be limited to prayers and tributes in her honor on certain occasions, but must become a “habit”, that is, a permanent orientation of one’s own Christian conduct, woven of prayer and interior life, through frequent reception of the sacraments and the concrete practice of the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. In this way the Scapular becomes a sign of the “covenant” and reciprocal communion between Mary and the faithful. I too have worn the Scapular of Carmel over my heart for a long time! Out of my love for our common heavenly Mother, whose protection I constantly experience.” – Saint Pope John Paul II
SYMBOL – of a deeper reality of Mary’s loving presence in our lives
PRAYER – wearing it is a continuous prayer to God in union with Mary
WAY OF LIFE – Living for God…continuing on earth the love of Jesus for His Mother
PROTECTION – in all of life’s dangers, “from the heavens she spreads the protective mantle of her mercy over her children…”
TIMELESS – Treasure of the Church – ancient, yet ever new – approved and worn by Popes and Saints of the Church
