I don't know if many of you have heard of the Scapular of Benediction. It was revealed to Marie-Julie Jahenny for protection in the terrible times to come.








"I wish that the background (usually) black of the scapular should be violet, but I wish that the nails, the chalice, the sponge and the crown should be on a dark red piece of flannel. This first appearance of this scapular will be a new protection for the times of the chastisements, the calamities and the famines. All those who will wear it will be able to go through storms, tempests and darkness, they will have light as in broad daylight. Such is the power of this unknown scapular."

The Holy Virgin presents the scapular to Our Lord who, in His turn says: "I address you My victim and also My victims and My servant, My children of the Cross, I wish to and I come to give you an idea and a deep thought: When taking Me down from the Cross, I was given to My Mother, that descent, that thought, that devotion is little known. I wish that by the reproduction of this scapular, it should enter the hearts of My children of the Cross, and that they hail Me by these three greetings (The Crux Ave):

--I hail Thee, Jesus crucified, to let me live.

--I hail Thee with all the joy of the Angels and of the Saints on bringing Thee down from the Cross.

--I hail Thee with all the sorrow of Thy Mother when Thou rested on Her Immaculate heart and on Her lap.

"My children, very few souls think of wiping the adorable wounds on My feet when the blood flows and I wish this representation to be known. Little thought is also given to the tears shed by My Mother during My Passion: those tears are at the feet of the Angel who wipes My sacred feet. By this scapular, I wish you to think about that ladder, that reed and those nails of My Passion.

"My children, any soul, any person who will possess this scapular, will see his family protected, his house will also be protected, firstly from conflagrations, which will never penetrate it.

"This scapular will crush the ungrateful who will blaspheme My Name in the house where it will be exposed. If an impious enters, he will be so struck that his conversion will occur. All those who will wear it will be protected from thunder, sudden death and accidents. During the chastisements they will be protected. Whoever places it in the Holy Temple, will drive out the impious and the profanations. Our Lord also adds that by reminding an obstinate soul about this scapular at the time of death, it will reawaken in it faith and conviction, that all those who will think about it and love it, will be spared the pains of the soul, that those who will wear it will be sheltered from all danger as if they possessed Heaven.

Thank you! I am getting one (or two!)

Ours is draped over a crucifix. It was blessed by a priest many years ago, I think it was just a standard blessing.

I did not know about that sacramental yet. Thank you so much for posting about it.

Yes this scapular is a great gift. I ordered 4 of them a couple of months ago and have since neglected to get them blessed and put them to use.

I am in a seemingly impossible personal predicament but I am going to faithfully start wearing this scapular and fulfilling it's devotions.  

Do any of you think it's alright to have both the brown scapular and this scapular on at the same time?? I don't really see why not.

There's no problem wearing both. I wear the brown scapular and my Traditional Third Order of St. Francis large scapular. They do tend to get tangled on occasion, but that's not a problem :)

Hmm, well I also want to join the third order!!!  

So what about 3 scapulars??

Three is even better than two.  

When wearing more than one scapular, is it okay to get the scapulars stitched together to avoid tangles? Do the scapulars have to be re-blessed, like a rosary that gets repaired? I've also attached a couple of medals onto my brown scapular because I didn't want to have them on a separate chain. Any thoughts on that?

Hi Boots, I can't comment on the stitching of scapulars together, but when I started attending Mass with the SSPX Fr Girouard (now of the resistance) got me enrolled in the brown scapular right away and he hung a miraculous medal on my scapular and told me to keep it there.  Thanks Fr G!

Edited to add: This Scapular of Benediction looks interesting.  Where can I buy one? or find some more info on it?

I have a couple now. One is in my living room over our picture of the Sacred Heart, the other one I still have to get blessed. I -was- going to give it to Church, but I think I'll save it for when I find a more permanent place to go to Mass.
