July 16- Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
This day is associated to the celebration of the brown scapular of Our Lady that was given to St. Simon Stock. So, on a day like this, it is appropriate to reflect on the brown scapular.
Many of us put on the scapular without investiture by the priest. This is wrong. Before one starts putting on the scapular, he/she must first attend lectures on the scapular after which a ceremony in which the priest himself blesses the scapular and wears it on us for the first time. After this scapular gets bad, we can then dispose of it in the prescribed manner and buy another one. Afterward, take it to any available priest for blessing and you can wear it by yourself.
Of all the graces of wearing the scapular, the one that is sweetest is that anyone who dies wearing the scapular is sure to enjoy eternal salvation.
If you have not done your scapular investiture, it is better you meet your fellow legionary indicating your interest for proper processes to be followed.
Remember Our Lady insists thus "...With the Scapular and rosary, i will save the world"
