People sometimes ask me: "Why is it, Father, that the Brown Scapular isn't preached anymore? In the past, we received the Brown Scapular at First Communion, but today there are no more blessings and imposition of the Brown Scapular. Is the Brown Scapular true today as in the past?"
Yes, the Brown Scapular is honored to this day; this truth has not changed. On Saturday, October 13, 1917 during the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, Mary was holding the Brown Scapular. Sister Lucy said: "The Rosary and the Brown Scapular are inseparable."
Again, I'm not here to argue or to hijack the thread or any of that. I just don't know what the Brown Scapular is and would appreciate an explanation.
