Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception July 19, 2020

The Brown Scapular – A Gift from Our Heavenly Mother On July 16, 1251 Our Lady of Mount Carmel appeared to St. Simon Stock 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 wear-ers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way. 1. What is Our Lady’s promise in wearing the Brown Scapular? “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.” 2. What are the conditions requisite for gaining the Our Lady’s promise of the Brown Scapular? 1.To observe exactly what has been prescribed regarding mate- rial, color, and shape of the Scapular. 2.To be enrolled in the Scapular by a priest. 3.To wear it continually. The Scapular is a silent prayer that shows one’s complete conse-cration and dedication to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Scapular is a devotion whereby we venerate Her, love Her, and trust in Her protection, and we tell Her these things every moment of the day by simply wearing the Brown Scapular. 3. Who may be invested in the Brown Scapular? All the Catholic faithful should be enrolled. It is customary for children to be enrolled after their First Holy Communion. Even infants can be invested. 4. How do I enroll in the Brown Scapular? Any priest can enroll or invest you in the Brown Scapular. There is a formula of investiture that the priest performs. 5. What is the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular? Once invested in the Scapular, a person automatically becomes a member of the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular. What is meant by the Confraternity is that, having been enrolled in the Scapular, you belong to a spiritual family whereby you have the privilege of being affiliated with the Carmelite Order, participating in the merits of the Carmelite Fathers and Religious in life and in death, as well as receiving the promises of Our Lady through the Scapular. Although at one time it was customary to inscribe one's name in the Confraternity Register (the parish priest would do this for all those he enrolled by sending the names to a Carmelite convent where the Confraternity was canonically erected), it is no longer the practice to do so. Part of the reason for this is that the Scapular has become, thanks be to God, such a universal sacra-mental and devotion that the Church has taken away this obliga-tion upon the lay faithful. It is sufficient to be invested in the Scapular to be a member of the Confraternity. 6. How must I wear the Scapular in order to receive its benefits? You must wear it over the shoulder so that one part hangs over your chest and the other side hangs over the back. Both parts cannot be carried in the front or the back, otherwise, the wearer runs the risk of not receiving the promise. 7. May the Scapular be fastened or pinned to my clothing? No. It must hang over the shoulders with one side hanging in the front and the other side hanging in the back. 8. Does the Scapular have to be 100% wool? Yes. Cotton, silk, and any other material is strictly forbidden. 9. May I use a chain instead of a cord for my Scapular? Yes, just as long as the scapular itself is 100% wool. 10. What shape does the Scapular have to be? It must be oblong or square. It cannot be oval, round, or polygonal. 11. May the Scapular have any other images on it? It is per-mitted to ornament the Scapular with images or pictures, such as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel or the Carmelite shield. However, the wool brown color of the Scapular must predominate.

12. Does the Scapular have to be touching the skin? No, it may be worn over or under any part of the clothing. 13. May one wear a different color of the Scapular? Different color Scapulars do exist as sacramentals in the Church for other devotions, such as the Red Scapular in honor of Our Lord’s Passion. However, the Brown Scapular that the lay faithful wear is a miniature of the Carmelite Religious Habit, and since that Habit is brown in color, it has always been regarded as the proper color for the Scapular. However, black wool is permissible. 14. Must I always wear the Scapular or may I take it off? In order to receive the promise, the Scapular must always be worn. We must understand that by wearing the Scapular we show our consecration and devotion to the Blessed Virgin. Our Blessed Mother cannot be pleased in any one who out of vanity or fear takes it off whenever it is not convenient to wear it. By wearing it we make an open profession of our faith, confidence, and love of Her. 15. May I take my Scapular off to bathe? Yes. 16. May I wear a Scapular Medal as a replacement for my Scapular? No. However, our modern Popes, notable St. Pius X and subse-quent Popes, have declared that in necessary cases such as in foreign or tropical climate missions, the Scapular Medal may be worn instead of the wool Scapular. But if the Scapular Medal is worn for insufficient reason, such as vanity or convenience, the wearer runs the risk of not receiving the benefit of the Scapular promise. It is important to remember that the small Scapular worn by the lay faithful is meant to be a miniature version of what the Carmelites wear as part of their Religious Habit, which is never substituted for anything else. 17. If I need a new Scapular, do I need to be re-invested? No. If your Scapular has worn out or has broken, you only need to get another one and put it on. The blessing and investiture is still valid for the new Scapular, since the blessing is predomi-nately given to the person who is invested in the Scapular. 18. What are the indulgences granted to those who de-voutly wear the Scapular? 1. A plenary indulgence on the day of receiving the Scapular. Conditions: Confession and Communion. 2. Plenary indulgence at the moment of death. Conditions: Con-fession, Communion, and devout invocation with the lips, or at least with the heart, of the Holy Name of Jesus. 3. Reciting the Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary devoutly – 100 days indulgence. 4. Each time the Scapular is kissed – 500 days indulgence. 19. What is the Sabbatine Privilege? It is the promise piously to be believed, that the Blessed Virgin Mary gave to Pope John XXII in a vision, that She will deliver Her faithful children who have worn the Scapular devoutly from pur-gatory soon after their death, notably the first Saturday after death. “As a tender Mother, I will descend into purgatory on the Saturday after their death, and will deliver them into the heavenly mansions of life everlasting.” (Words of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Pope John XXII). This Sabbatine Privilege was promulgated and taught through the famous Bull Sacratissimo Uti Culmine (Sabbatine Bull) of Pope John XXII in 1322 and given definitive ratification in 1908 by the Holy See. 20. What are the requirements for obtaining the Sabbatine Privilege? 1. To wear the Brown Scapular continuously. 2. To observe chastity according to one’s state in life. 3. The daily recitation of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary OR to abstain from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays OR with the permission of a priest say 5 decades of the Holy Rosary.

about normal grief and hopefully gain a renewed sense of hope. Come and learn, share feelings and ask questions to gather hints

about picking up the pieces after loss. When: Mondays 19th, 26th,

Given the circumstances, Bishop Provost is providing this prayer for the use of the faithful:

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least into my heart. I embrace You as if You are already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. (You may make this Act of Spiritual Communion any-time you need it and as often as you need it.)

ATTENDING MASS DURING THE PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS/REMINDERS/SUGGESTIONS

Per Bishop Provost: “The dispensation from the

obligation to attend Holy Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligations remains in effect. Those experiencing symptoms should seek medical at-tention and remain at home.”

If you are not feeling well, or if someone in your family is ill, please do not attend Mass.

Holy water is provided in small containers at each entrance. Please limit one per family so that eve-ryone may get one.

To adhere to social distancing, do not sit in the roped off pews.

It is highly recommended that a mask be worn. Please avoid touching the pews or other church

surfaces unnecessarily (ushers/volunteers must thoroughly disinfect after each Mass).

There will be separate communion lines for re-ceiving in the hand or on the tongue.

No singing by the congregation is allowed. No missalettes. The sign of peace is temporarily suspended. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are

not to distribute Communion. Do not use the drinking fountain in the foyer of

the day chapel.

Prayer for Safety in Hurricane Season

O God, Master of this passing world, Hear the hum-ble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your order and returned to its former quie-tude. You are still the Master of the land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy and overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and ani-mated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heav-enly Jerusalem where stormless eternity awaits us. Amen

+The Most Reverend Maurice Schexnayder 2nd Bishop of Lafayette

Salus Populi Romani Protectress and Health of the Roman People

Prayer against the Coronavirus

O Mary, you shine continuously along our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the Cross were near to the pain of Jesus, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman people, know what we need, and we trust that you will provide for those needs so that, as at Cana of Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform our-selves to the will of the Father and to do what Je-sus tells us, He who took our sufferings upon Him-self, and took up our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen. We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every dan-ger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
