An Introduction to the Devout Life
“You aim at true devotion, my dear Philothea, because, as a Christian, you know how acceptable it is to the Divine Majesty. But inasmuch as trifling errors at the outset of any undertaking are wont to increase rapidly as we advance, frequently becoming almost irreparable, it is needful that, first of all, you should ascertain wherein lies the virtue of devotion.” —St. Francis de Sales Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but how many of us actually know how to get there?

Brown Scapular – Carmelite Nuns Handmade
Handmade by the Carmelite Monastery in Goonellabah NSW. “WHOSOEVER DIES IN THIS GARMENT SHALL NOT SUFFER ETERNAL FIRE.” - promise of Our Lady to St. Simon Stock on July 16, 1251. To be eligible for the scapular promise, one must be enrolled in the Brown Scapular, a simple ceremony which can be performed by any Catholic priest. The members of the Confraternity have the added benefit of sharing in all the spiritual benefits of the Carmelite Order. In the year 1251, in the town of Aylesford in England, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite. She handed him a brown woolen scapular and said, “This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire.” In time, the Church extended this magnificent privilege to all the laity who are willing to be invested in the Brown Scapular of the Carmelites and who perpetually wear it. True devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary consists in three things: VENERATION, CONFIDENCE AND LOVE. By simply wearing the Scapular, we can tell her every moment of the day that we venerate her, love her and trust in her protection. This Brown Scapular comes packaged with an information leaflet which includes the actual Scapular Blessing and Enrollment.
