  • Why Catholics Wear Scapulars by Ken Litchfield

    Why Catholics Wear Scapulars by Ken Litchfield

    Why Catholics Wear Scapulars by Ken Litchfield The wearing of a small square Scapular is a popular devotion among many Catholics. Some know the teaching behind it and some wear it by family tradition. The small square Scapular is based on the large scarf-like Scapular worn over the shoulders by religious brothers and sisters. The word Scapular comes from the Latin word scapula for the shoulder bone. Lay Catholics often wear the small Scapular which has 2 pieces of wool cloth connected by 2 cords to imitate the religious brothers and sisters. There may be a picture or some brief writing on the back of the wool cloth to remind the wearer why they are wearing it. The teaching behind the various Scapulars is to remind us to lead Holy lives. Catholics are not required to wear a scapular but many who know the teaching behind it do. The Brown Scapular Our Lady of Mount Carmel appeared to the Carmelite monk Saint Simon Stock in 1251 and presented him with a brown wool scapular, saying, “Whoever dies invested with this Scapular shall be preserved from the eternal flames. It is a sign of salvation, a sure safeguard in danger, a pledge of peace and of my special protection until the end of the ages.” Any Catholic can be enrolled in the Brown Scapular. Many children are enrolled after their First Communion, although there is no age requirement. To gain the promises of the Brown Scapular, one must be enrolled or invested in the Brown Scapular by a Catholic priest or deacon.
  • NICCSJ Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel 2021

    NICCSJ Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel 2021

    NICCSJ 2021 Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Feast Day, July 16th) Mount Carmel is the biblical site where the prophet Elijah battled with the 450 priests of Baal, which led to their defeat and ruin. It was also where Elijah sent his servant seven times to the mountaintop to look for rain after years of drought which ended as he proclaimed (1 Kings 18:19-44). The title of Our Lady of Carmel can be traced back to the hermits (Carmelites) who used to live in the renowned and blessed Mount Carmel. These pious and austere Carmelites prayed in expectation of the advent of a Virgin-Mother. Thousands of years later, our Lady, Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite priest, in the exact same location on July 16th 1251. In this appearance of Mary, she is known as Our Lady of Mount Carmel. She appeared holding Jesus as a child in one arm and on her other arm, a Scapular. She promised that all those who wear Scapular and follow Christ faithfully will be brought by Our Mother Mary into heaven at their deaths. Praying the Novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel has been an age-long practice through which Christians have entrusted their intentions to God through the powerful intercessions of our Mother Mary. Let us continue to share in the maternal love our Mother Mary by praying this Novena with devotion and attention.

Scapular By Jason Paul Bourgeois, Ph.D., Librarian-Theologian/Assistant Professor Marian Library-International Marian Research Institute, University of Dayton A scapular is a sacramental garment of the Catholic church, usually consisting of two pieces of sewn cloth attached by strings and worn over the shoulders with one piece hanging over the chest and the other hanging over the back. The scapular was originally a component of some religious habits, the set of garments worn by members of a religious order, but later a smaller version (usually one inch by two inches) began to be worn under the clothes by laypersons who wished to associate with a particular religious order. The most famous scapular is the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (q.v.) The Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (commonly referred to as Carmelites) were originally founded as an order of hermits that lived together on Mount Carmel in Israel in the early 1200s.

    Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast Day: July 16 The Story of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Hermits lived on Mount Carmel near the Fountain of Elijah in northern Israel in the 12th century. They had a chapel dedicated to Our Lady. By the 13th century they became known as “Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” They soon celebrated a special Mass and Office in honor of Mary. In 1726, it became a celebration of the universal Church under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. For centuries the Carmelites have seen themselves as specially related to Mary. Their great saints and theologians have promoted devotion to her and often championed the mystery of her Immaculate Conception. Saint Teresa of Avila called Carmel “the Order of the Virgin.” Saint John of the Cross credited Mary with saving him from drowning as a child, leading him to Carmel, and helping him escape from prison. Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus believed that Mary cured her from illness. On her First Communion day, Thérèse dedicated her life to Mary. During the last days of her life she frequently spoke of Mary. There is a tradition —which may not be historical —that Mary appeared to Saint Simon Stock, a leader of the Carmelites, and gave him a scapular, telling him to promote devotion to it. The scapular is a modified version of Mary’s own garment. It symbolizes her special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way. The scapular reminds us of the gospel call to prayer and penance—a call that Mary models in a splendid way.
