The Brown Scapular
A Safeguard…Physical and SpiritualOn the battlefield in France, for example, the bullet which would have killed a soldier is deflected by his scapular and leaves not even a bruise on his skin.
In Holland a Carmelite Monk throws his scapular upon surging flood waters which threaten to destroy an entire village and immediately the torrent recedes.
During a terrible draught in Spain, the holy habit of Carmel is carried in procession and the heavens previously closed up begin to shower plentiful rains.
Elsewhere, pestilence is subdued, battles won, fires extinguished, the blind regain their sight, and the crippled are cured all through the Scapular and the invocation of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
