St. Dominic's Prophecy Regarding the Brown Scapular

It was today in 1251 that Our Lady gave the Brown Scapular to St. Simon Stock in Aylesford, Kent.

In the pages of an ancient history of the Carmelite Order (written in medieval Latin by a priest named Fr. Marianus Ventimiglia), published in 1773 in Naples, we find this historical account:
Three famous men of God met on a street corner in Rome. They were Friar Dominic, busy gathering recruits to a new Religious Order of Preachers; Brother Francis, the friend of birds and beasts and especially dear to the poor; and Angelus, who had been invited to Rome from Mount Carmel, in Palestine, because of his fame as a preacher.
At their chance meeting, by the light of the Holy Spirit each of the three men recognized each other and, in the course of their conversation (as recorded by various followers who were present), they made prophecies to each other. Saint Angelus foretold the stigmata of Saint Francis, and Saint Dominic said:
"One day, Brother Angelus, to your Order of Carmel the Most Blessed Virgin Mary will give a devotion to be known as the Brown Scapular, and to my Order of Preachers she will give a devotion to be known as the Rosary. One day, through the rosary and the scapular, she will save the world."
