Power of Sacramentals
BROWN SCAPULAR'S SPECIAL PROTECTION
The Brown Scapular is embroidered with the original promise of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Simon Stock: “Whosoever dies clothed with this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.” Additionally, several privileges benefit those who wear the Scapular:
1 As a sacramental, the brown scapular confers extra grace and disposes us to cooperate with it. (CCC 1670)
2 The Blessed Virgin Mary promises special protection in life and death
3 Final perseverance “at the hour of death”
4 Assistance after death and an early release from Purgatory (also called the Sabbatine Privilege)
