THIS IS A DEFINITE RATE OF INTEREST
It is a safegurd in danger, a
Pledge of Salvation. Whosoever
dies while wearing my Scapular
will never see the Eternal
Flames of Hell.”
To gain fulfillment of Mary’s
Scapular Pledge, it' is necessary
that a person be validly enrolled
by a priest, wear the Scapular
day and night and earnestly
strive to imitate the virtues
which are so beautifully reflect
ed in the life of God’s Mother.
St. Pius X recognized that' con
ditions exist which may render
the wearing of the cloth Scapular
gravely inconvenient. That no
one be excluded from Mary’s
all-powerful inter c el s. s i: o n,
Christ’s Vicar through a decree
issued on Dec. 16, 1910, has ex
tended all Scapular benefits and
privileges to the Medal, although
at the same time he urged that
the cloth sacramental be worn
whenever possible. For the cere
mony of enrollment the cloth
Scapular must be used. There
after a Scapular Medal blessed
. by a priest may be substituted.
'fatima and the scapular
Although in ages past the
Scapular has rightfully been re
garded as an important medium
to express filial love for God’s
Mother, today this importance
has greatly increased.
God’s Mother through the re
velations made to the three
shepherd children in 1917 at Fa
tima, Portugal, has indicated
that the wearing of her Scapular
Garb is necessary if she is to
bless the world and save humini-
ty from dire punishment. Lucy,
the oldest of the three children
to whom the declarations were
given, has repeatedly emphasiz
ed that the wearing of the Scap
ular is an important element of
the Fatima Message.
Our Lady graphically demon
strated this truth. For in her Fin
al Apparition on Oct. 13, 1917,
God’s Mother appeared clothed
as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel . . .
holding the Brown Scapular
aloft as a beckoning Sign to all
the world. And the present Holy
Father in a stirring declaration
on Feb. 11, 1950, re-affirmed this
truth by urging all Catholics to
wear Mary’s “Vestment of Salva
tion” as a sign of Consecration
to her Immaculate Heart.
In substance Mary’s appari
tions at Fatima affect every
human being because she pro
mises, if mankind fulfills her re
quests, to intercede with her
Divine Son in such fashion that
disastrous wars will be averted,
multitudes of souls will be saved
from Hell and the Church itself
will enter a new era of peace and
prosperity.
It behooves every person,
therefore, to observe fully Mary’s
Requests and also wear her
Scapular as a Sign of Consecra
tion that the bright hope which
she extended to humanity at
Fatima may soon become a liv
ing reality.
