My fellow Catholics earlier today I was diagnosed with cancer of the colon and kidneys, a hernia and tests later indicated that my lungs have scores of potentially cancerous growths not to mention my bad left leg; in short I need your prayers in a very big way. Please pray that I’m cured but through it all my GOD’S Most holy will be accomplished in me and that I may accept GOD’S verdict.

A doctor placed the brown Scapular when he felt I was bleeding to death in the ER. He took it of his own neck and placed it on me. I felt Jesus with me while I was medi-vaced to the medical center . I was stable and not bleeding to death. I am a retired R. N. I am one grateful Catholic grandmother!

As a Catholic man of 7 years, I carry 3 things on me at all times: A scapular, a Rosary, and a 1 ounce flask of holy water. Prepared for battle wherever I go.

In 1845 the English ship “King of the Ocean” was on its way to Australia. When the ship reached the Cape of Good Hope off the coast of South Africa, it encountered a deadly storm. It didn’t look like they would survive. When many on the ship lost all hope, a young Irishman from the county of Louth named John McAuliffe stepped forward onto the deck and unbuttoned his shirt. He took the Brown Scapular that was around his neck and held it out towards the sea, making the sign of the cross with it. McAuliffe then threw the scapular into the raging waters. Immediately the winds stopped and the waves calmed down, except for one final wave that tossed the scapular back on deck, bringing it before McAuliffe’s feet. The other passengers were stunned, especially a Protestant minister who was on board. He learned from McAuliffe the history and meaning of the Brown Scapular and when the ship arrived in Sydney, he and his family went to St. Mary’s Chapel (now St. Mary’s Cathedral) and were all received into the Catholic Church by Bishop Polding, the Archbishop of Sydney. McAuliffe possessed that “mustard seed” type of faith and trusted in God’s ability to calm the waves. God responded generously to that display of faith and interceded to save the ship. As Jesus said, with that type of faith, “nothing will be impossible to you.”

I have always worn the brown scapular for the past fifty years.😇

i enrolled into the brown scapular last year shortly after making my very first Marian consecration. I love Mary so much and iv seen the amazing things she has done in my life through Christ ever since my consecration and enrolment. wearing a scapular is one of the most beautiful, wonderful and life changing decisions any Catholic could and should make! I LOVE MY MAMA MARY!!!

During my friend's husband stay in the hospital for his terminal illness, he told the nurses not to take off him the Brown Scapular even he died as it's his promise to his wife to wear it till he died. A gift he got from his wife as he is not a believer. Just to show he loved his wife. So he died wearing the Brown Scapular.

The Holy rosary is our sword against the devil and the brown scapular is our shield.

When my 96 yr old grandmother was on her last days, she would have bouts of irrational behavior and would yank on her clothing and Carmelite Scapular. Even though I didn’t understand the importance of it at the time, I knew it was important to her to keep it on. So I took her scapular and pinned the strands tightly in between the images. Every day, my mother would then pin the scapular onto my grandmother’s blouse. I was comforted to see her scapular pinned near to her heart the day she passed away. May she and all the faithfully departed, Rest In Peace. Amen. ♥️

In that moment I put my scapular on, whatever state of mind I’m in, just the act of putting on jolts a reminder in my brain that I should be acting like a Catholic at all times. I still sin, but wearing it is a constant reminder that I’m a child of God, citizen of heaven, and should conduct myself as one on Earth.

I wear a handmaid Br. Scapular from Sister's of Mt Carmel...I love it.

Once my original scapular fell apart, I never wore it. Then in 1998, I went to visit an old friend of my mother, who's son had just died. As we talked I noticed the brown string of the scapular and we began to talk about it. It revived my enthusiasm for wearing it. She had an extra one and gave it to me. I've been wearing it ever since. It has protected me SO MANY TIMES. In 2018. I felt shortness of breath. I was 73. So as to not take any chances, I went to the hospital. After 3 days of trying to figure out what was wrong, they found it. Both my lungs, front and back, were covered with BLOOD CLOTS. Just one is enough to scare you to death, but my lungs were covered. The Cardiologist was almost pale in color when he told me. He said he had never seen such a case. yet, I stopped the shortness of breath, I had no fever, no pain, and I was cheerful. I was placed under 17 medications to help control the clots then it was tapered to 4 that I would have to take for an additional 6 , months. Thank goodness for my insurance otherwise I would not have been able to afford the medication. Now I KNOW it was my Scapular that saved me. Get it, wear it and protect yourself.

I have been wearing a scapular for well over twenty years. It is a sign of my sign of my faith. I've insisted on wearing it through a number of surgeries even if it had to be wrapped around my leg. No matter what I wear, the scapular stays and many times the brown ribbon is visible. I'm sure other people find that unattractive, but I don't care. If the scapular comes out, I give Mary and baby Jesus a kiss before I tuck them back in.

I am a huge fan of this show. Sending all my prayers to you Padre and the rest of the team love from the Philippines ❤️

My son of 27years old was fatally stabbed. He waa wearing his Scapular. He used to have it since his elementary years. Two hours after the incident, he expired.. two hours which I do believe was the precious time Mama Mary comforted his soul... that was five years 8months and 22days ago.🙏🙏🙏.

Discalced means without shoes. The Spanish word «descalzo» means bare feet.

I wear a brown scapular, crucifix with embedded St. Benedict Medal, with Miraculous medal, St. Joseph, St. Michael. and Combat Holy Rosary from Catholic Gentleman

This is great! Kindly discuss the Miraculous Medal next time.

I don’t remember any day of my 56 years of life that I never wore a scapular. My grandmother was a co-founder of the OCDS (Order of Secular Discalced Carmelites) in Angeles City, Philippines. She was the one who made me wear scapular. She died in 1987. I carry her brown Holy Rosary everywhere I go. I passed on the Scapular tradition to my 3 boys.

I have the brown scapular that my father wore during WW2. He died when I was 6 and before my mother died she gave them to me and told me to never lose them. Discalced is without shoes.

Is not just to wear the scapulary but to know what is the significant and responsibilities it come with it.

I received a scapular when I received Holy Communion. Thank for educating me. I know I wore it the day it was placed over me and it is in my Communion pocketbook with my white Rosary Beads and Prayers Book.

At 13:30 Ryan brings up a great point. The priest on base explained it this way: anyone wearing the scapula in proper form is also probably trying to live as Christ-like as possible and therefore is working with God on the road to salvation.

Love my Brown Scapular. We made sure my stepmother’s father was properly invested in it by a priest weeks before he died. A longtime fallen-away Catholic, he underwent reversion, and was always excited for Mass and Extreme Unction towards the end.

Steve, thank you for pronouncing it correctly: carMEL. Too many folks pronounce it like its a piece of candy. Wearing the Scapular is one of the smartest things I ever done.

😂🤣 "Don't be caught dead without one"

Started wearing this year. Can't wait to learn more.

when the lady I was taking care of was passing away, I put her Brown Scapular in her hand and a rosary.

*Catholic Talk Show,* Sincere appreciation for the work that your Channel does. God bless you heaps☆

Bonjoiur ! I am a catholique all my life and I received a few scapular's brown and yellow, red and black I was 18 years old and I remembered . I didn't remember the explication or didnt received it. Thank you for the explications . I gave all mine away and I think the churches doesnt promoted any more. It is an extra things to wear and I think people abandoned that but with your show it will come back to life again. Thank you so much ! God Bless you all !

I just started to wear the brown Scapular so I cant wait for the show. I always listen anyway

I just ordered 2 scapulars.

i m wearing one now and, in hope, will continue to wear one until my death.

I am a Third Order Lay Carmelite and I wear my scapular always, but I had been enrolled by a priest before I became a Carmelite. My Scapular is a protection against Satan, who hates the Scapular, Holy Water, the Miraculas Medal, and the Rosary. I am also a member of the Legion of Mary and I have consecration myself to Our Lady. The Scapular is a constant reminder that I belong to Our Lord Jesus Christ and my promise to become holy; to be holy! God bless all of you. 🙏🙏

How happy to listen to you. I am a wearer of the brown scapular. How you talk 👄 about it is so 🤔 heart rending so holily funny. But how you love to talk about Mother Mary with love. Hurrah to you boys 👦. I am am 85 yrs old from the Philippines.

I started wearing my brown scapular bc I'm a Marian but I just started to wear this year around April. I knew for years some about bc of my mother she is very devoted active catholic in her parish. I'm as well but less active I do go to a mass every Sunday and adoration Tuesdays or Thursdays and I go to confession I'm single 3 years I do live in grace. I pray my rosary daily and I noticed it had help me a lot to stay positive, and under grace, I'm doing a church annulment. I bought ten for my family members siblings and my 3 sons. I'm learning more and more how powerful it's and the story History Our Lady's apparition to St. Simon Stock. In the year 1251, in the town of Aylesford in England. I'm following as well the devotion of our blessed mother of Fatima every 1st Saturday of each month here at Miami sw area and go to confession, pray the rosary and meditate at least 15 minutes ask our blessed mother virgin Mary for protection and tnen go to mass and take the holy Eucharist as she asked us in Fatima devotion and she also promises to assist us at he time of our death. You guys are great Catholic may our Lord Father Yahweh almighty bless you 🙏 pray for my church annulment.

My wife was in a terrible accident where the whole right side of her car was smashed in terribly but she wasn't hurt at all, incredibly. My scapular was hanging on the rearview mirror and she was wearing my Fatima medal. The policemen and the paramedics couldn't believe that she didn't have a scratch or bruise.

here iam from ethiopia once iwas in the lowest land of ethiopia semera n because of saffocation iwas in to sleeping death suddenly when iwas moving my scapulars plastic cover scratches my nake iget counsious n iwake n i survive . this was my second protection from vergin mary i love my sacpulary💗❤💗❤💗❤💗👆

We made ours in our Catholic grammar school, directed by our nun as it was called long ago. 53 years later I still wear mine as it was blessed during holy mass and we children were consecrated to Our Blessed Holy Mother of God.

Wearing the scapular is sort of like making a physical vow to live a life that mimics virtues similar to that of our Blessed Mother’s life! Maybe like a wedding ring?

The thread is from Australian! So we people from Australian will get a good discount :) Beautiful talk show thanks

I wear the brown scapula and before going for a shower I remove the scapular and kiss it, I pray to Our Lady to keep me safe from all evil till I can place it back on my person. My daughter has been wearing it since she was 3, when she was six and in school she was asked to remove it because she was doing P.E they said it was for health and safety reasons. My daughter after a while refused saying that Mary her mother would keep her safe and already new her health would be no issue because she new the circumstances of her birth and how through the intercession of the Blessed Mother through many Rosaries that she survived as a baby being born with her heart the wrong way and was not diagnosed with her condition for a further seven weeks which amazed doctors that she was still alive. She had open heart surgery and lives to tell this miracle.

I had two scapulars that broke. Ordered one from Steve and I love it! It is just as he described! One tough little scapular! God Bless!

I have been wearing the Brown scapular for years. I never comes off, even when I shower.

Greetings and blessings from Lebanon 🇱🇧. The Carmelite Order is strong in Lebanon and from a tender age we are made aware of the protection of the brown Scapular of course in conjunction with the Miraculous Medal of Our Lady. God bless you🙏🙏

I am a fan of your show. Thank you for this show. As the Miraculous Medal feast is on the 27th of November, I would be very happy to see you do a show on it. It is an excellent sacramental. Thank you all for what you do. I love your show. May our Lady continue to intercede for you all.

What about the Miraculous Medal? Have you an episode on it? Cause this week we will be celebrating Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal! 😊😊😊 So happy feast day in advance!

I have one of Steve's scapulars and its the best I've ever worn!

it really depends on one's intentions & devotion - how one should wear the scapular - God sees the heart

wow my name was derived from Our Lady of Mount Carmel and this is good info and a reminder as well

I always keep my crusader scapular at all times, I also carry a miraculous medal, a Saint Benedict medal, a rosary, Holy water, and Saint Michael oil.

Hey! I have one and when I got it blessed the father said it should be a reminder to lead a holy life and not only rely on it which I know.

I have to share this experience from my cousin in the Philippines, he been stabbed ones, and yet he survived; after all, another tragedy struck him, while walking the road, then motorcycle ran over him, while wearing it and now he lives….

Sr.Felly Covacha enrolled me 2nd Feb 2021 together with my friend Dots. I feel so peaceful since then.

I took the scapular about a month ago, maybe a little more. I wear my hair as you see in the picture. It kept getting tangled in the scapular string, pulling it out of my neckline and I was actually at a formal Deaconate ordination and it broke and fell off, but I caught it. I said "this isn't going to work." I dress modestly, but I can't only wear turtlenecks. So when I got home, I tied it in a way that they overlap a little and I made a large knot. I now pin the scapulars to my undergarments or my pajamas. What can I do? It was a tangled mess before. BTW, I LIVE on Mt. Carmel! The chapel is now Stella Maris Monastery. It is beautiful but a little difficult for me to get to by bus. I go to the Carmelite Church which is the main Latin church in Haifa. The Discalced are the shoeless ones. They wear sandals.

Thank you all

Please pray for me that I live the holiness that I live the holiness that God calls me to live.

Wearing a scapular requires humility if you’re a woman. It isn’t as hidden under all shirts. I’ve found that wearing a brown scapular does help Mary lead people closer to God.

thanks a lot for the useful information many CATHOLICs do not know this things

I bought one from a catholic book store and had a priest bless it I wear it all the time

I'm so thankful I found you guys! My Aunt was a Chaplain and was an Ordained Carmelite Layperson. She was a woman filled with love and grace and she gave me my first Scapular. She worked at St. Joseph Hospital here in Phoenix. Is it wrong to pin my Scapular to my bra? I never go without my Scapular, but I was uncomfortable with it around my neck and floating under my clothes. I LOVE your sense of humor!!!

Thanks be to God Amen 🙏✝️❤️🕊️

Thx for the show ! I wear mine even in shower. fyi Discalced>without shoes (sandals ok) Calced> shoes ok

I consecrated myself last year to Our Blessed Mother and then shortly afterwards, my priest blessed me and invested me into the brown scapula which I cont to wear all the timein

I never take mine off, I bathe with it on (takes care of the sweat smell) and I sleep with it!😇🙏👼🌹🙏

Hi just found your channel. I am a proud catholic from Indonesia.

I was enrolled in the five fold scapular, but it broke 😭. I need Steve to start making these too.

Agree on the thousands of devotions. Reverently ask God for direction, as it was He who gave us our personalities and draws us to Himself according to what He had in mind when He thought of your particular Image and Likeness.

Awesome show!!! I think you guys forgot to mention that a priest does the imposition of the Brown Scap only the first time! All the other times thereafter, one can just put a different one on

I always use my brown scapular even during sleeping at night.

I’m not catholic but my mom had about 2 and a sliver Saint that was maybe an inch tall. Don’t know which saint. I believe in our Lord more than I can say! Bless you and yours

This is so good and informative!! Thank you for sharing your collective gifts of understanding and faith with us!

Those who covered their feet were 'calced.' A 'calceta' in Spanish is a boot or a shoe that covers all your foot. The 'discalced' is the more primitive rule which observes strict poverty such that they wear sandals at most, not regular shoes. The discalced Carmelites have many saints; whereas the mitigated rule has few. The great Teresa of Avila founded the discalced Carmelites. St. Theresa, the Little Flower was a Discalced Carmelite.

I have been wearing it for years. When I made my First Communion back in the 1950's, part of the prays that the priest said was to confirm us in the Society of the Brown Scapular. Sadly we do not do that in the Catholic Church any longer. Also only a Priest can confirm you, or that was the way it was before Vat.II

God Bless Ryan Scheel! The Spirit has set our brother on fire!

My understanding is that the scapular is conferred at First Communion. It was included with the instructions and the missal that we all received.

My Scapular has been so dear to me, that whenever it has been lost accidentally (floating on water due to swimming or accidentally broken) i always trust in God through our lady that it will always return for it completely saddens me. Lo and behold, each time i lose it, a few months later i always find it back, either completely intact or repaired. Blessed be our Lady and Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Gentlemen, Merriest and Happiest Christmas to you all, May God continue to bless you always💚

A Marian faithful old lady has given us a holy oil that she put in a small bottle. I had to look for other means where I can always carry or hang it in my neck, and so I found this brown scapular and open the side and sew the bottle in it, miracle happened at that same time when I thought the bottle won't fit in the scapular, but it did and I practically sew it in the sides to secure it. Its been probably 10 years since I started wearing my scapular with my blessed oil and I cannot emphasize enough the countless times it made me feel safe, secure, hopeful and protected me when someone tries to do harm, Mama Mary is always staying with me.

I have been wearing brown scapular’s made by the Rose Scapular Corporation for several decades. They are of excellent quality and adhere to the standards outlined by the church. Mother Mary thank you for this great gift. Please intercede with thy Divine Son at the time of my death.

Great episode. Thanks. Super enjoyable.

Was given one during the pandemic and this talk is informative

You’re also supposed to say The Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary daily unless dispensed by a Priest to say instead the Rosary daily. It’s not merely wearing the scapular.

Not only I have a Brown Scapular, but a Green Scapular too !!!!!!

Ordered two, wonderful episode as always

In The Name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit AMEN 🙏

Just put a few drops of frankenscence oil on my scapular. Thanks for the tip, just never thought of it though I use it in my diffuser regularly.

I have a brown scapular, but the Picture is the image of Divine Mercy with "Jesus I trust in you"... I will go to a priest and bless those scapulars soon... I particularly like the Divine Mercy devotion because of the Promises of Divine Mercy Image of Jesus and it is simple Devotion...There is no need for Special investiture of Brown scapular of Mt. Carmel..

I’m 42 and probably since I was 10 I always wore on off and on. I’ve been wearin one for the past 8 years

Fr Andrew Apostoli enrolled me! I have my medals my late aunties medals pinned to it!

There are many stories pertaining to the scapular, one particular one was, a seamen that was on a cargo ship docked at port. While they docked he went to see his family and spend time with them. The next morning he went back to the ship as it was to sail that very morning, they would be away for three to four months. When he got to the ship he remembered that he did not have his scapular on as he remembered he took it off when he had a bath, he hesitated whether to go back and get it or leave it. Something was telling him to go back and so he ran home, grabbed his scapular then went back to his ship. The story goes the ship sailed and as it happened ran into a storm which sent the ship onto some reefs. The ship began to sink and the whole crew went down with the ship. The seaman with the scapular was the only one rescued, his scapular somehow got twined onto a nail which was on a driftwood keeping the seaman's head above water. Another story is about a Catholic man, a protestant man and his family who were on board of a ship, they encounter a violent storm and everyone was scared the young Catholic man takes off his scapular and throws it into the sea, the sea instantaneously calms down bringing the last wave to come onto the ship and also washed back the scapular to the young Catholic. The protestant man after seeing what happened converted.

just for the record... the wool is irritating for a great reason!!! and that is to keep your mind on Our Lady and she is ALWAYS with YOU especially if you are in the STATE OF GRACE !!!

God Bless you all for this informative video. I wear a brown scapular with the Devine Mercy image of Jesus Christ and his Sacred Heart on one piece and the verse saying the wearer “shall not suffer eternal fire” on the other. I began wearing it after my consecration to Mary years ago. At times the scapular will slip out of my shirt and become visible. Now I know a bit more about why it’s worn and, God willing, I can be a bit more descriptive about its history.

The Scapular Brown Carmelite I used to purchase for my Father all the time at Our Lady of Fatima Shrine . It does mean under proper conditions . You will be a saintly person if worn under proper conditions ( more than likely ) .

I wear my scapular every minute of the day even under the shower

BROTHERS. I DON`T KNOW IF THE WORD COMES FROM LATIN OR NOT. BUT MOST SURELY IT DOES. BUT AT LEAST IN SPANISH "CALZADO" MEANS WITH SHOES AND "DESCALZO" MEANS WITHOUT SHOES!!

I am blessed to have a brown one from USA at the 100 anniversary of our Lady of Fatima in Singapore given by a priest. Amen

I feel very peaceful no fear specially when you are sleeping

Thank you for this. I had so many questions and you guys answered all of them here. It would awesome if you guys talked more about other scapulars in the future. Especially about the green scapular. I can't find much about it online. Do I also need a priest to bless me with the green one? My mom gave me one when I was about 14 or 15 years old after having terrible nightmares since I could walk. Terrible nightmares that would continue on even after I was awake. I would sleep walk a lot too and it was just terrible. I'd get them 5 times a week and sometimes 7 times a week for all those years. Anyways she gave me the green scapular and I immediately put it on. I said the prayer that night and didn't have a nightmare. Every night I said the prayer and never had another nightmare again. Only a couple times after a few years did I have one again but it was because I had stopped saying the prayer and had lost my scapular. What is amazing too is that when I lost my scapular I found one in the womens bathroom of a burger king a few days later. I had never seen one before anywhere else and not many people knew about the green one back then. I was so thankful that GOD would gift me another one after I had lost mine. Miracle after miracle that I have been blessed with the green scapular and would love to know more about it and also would love for more people to know about it too. GOD bless you all.

I am listening to your show. May I add that when you wear the brown scapular, in addition to living a virtuous life, one should say the little office of Our Lady or the rosary and not eat meat on Saturday.
