The promise that Our Lady had given to St. Simon Stock when she appeared to him on 16th July 1251 was: “Receive, my beloved Son, this Habit of Thy Order [the Scapular]: this shall be to thee and to all the Carmelites a privilege, that whosoever dies clothed in this shall never suffer eternal fire. Behold a sign of peace, a safeguard in danger, a pledge of my eternal alliance.” Since then, many have opted to use this amazing sacramental as part of their daily prayer and worship. The Scapular serves as a constant reminder of the need to be connected to God through Mary, and draw abundant graces through her intercession.
