Brown Scapular

True story
St. Alphonsus Marie de Liguori

Miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary. ​THE MANY MIRACLES WROUGHT BY THEBROWN SCAPULAR OF OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL​. St. Alphonsus had a very special devotion to. Our Lady of Mount Carmel and while alive wore his brown scapular faithfully. Many years after his death his grave was opened; the body and priestly vestments in which he was buried had turned to dust! But his scapular was found PERFECTLY INTACT!

St. Alphonsus Liguori's Brown Scapular is still miraculously intact and on exhibit in his Monastery in Rome. Saint Claude de la Colombiere, the renowned Jesuit and spiritual director of St. Margaret Mary, gives a point that is enlightening. He said, Because all the forms of our love for the Blessed Virgin and all its various modes of expression cannot be equally pleasing to Her, and therefore do not assist us in the same degree to reach Heaven, I say, without a moment s hesitation, that the BROWN SCAPULAR IS THE MOST FAVORED OF ALL! He also adds,

No devotion has been confirmed by more numerous authentic miracles than the Brown Scapular.

THE GLORIES OF MARY - ST. ALPHONSUS LIGUORI

EXAMPLE - St. Alphonsus Marie de Liguori. Father Eusebius Nierembergh relates,! that there lived in the city of Aragona a girl, named Alexandra who, being noble and very beautiful, was greatly loved by two young men. Through jealousy, they one day fought and killed each other. Their enraged relatives, in return, killed
the poor young girl, as the cause of so mucha trouble, cut off her head, and threw her into a well. A few days after, St. Dominic was pass ing through that place, and, inspired by the Lord, approached the well, and said;Alexandra, come forth; and immediately the head of the deceased came forth, placed itself on the edge of the well, and prayed St. Dominic to hear its confession.

The saint heard its confession, and also gave it communion, in presence of a great concourse of persons who had assembled to to witness the miracle. Then, St. Dominic or dered her to speak and tell why she had receiv ed that grace. Alexandra answered, that when
she was beheaded, she was in a state of mortal sin, but that the most holy Mary, on account of the rosary, which she was in the habit of recit ing, had preserved her in life. Two days the head retained its life upon the edge
of the well, in the presence of all, and then the soul went to purgatory. But fifteen days after, the soul of
Alexandra appeared to St. Dominic, beautiful and radiant as a star, and told him, that one of
the principal sources of relief to the souls in pur gatory is the rosary which is recited for them; and that, as soon as they arrive in paradise, they pray for those who apply to them these power ful prayers. Having said this, St. Dominic saw that happy soul ascending in triumph to the
kingdom of the blessed.

PRAYER.
Oh Queen of heaven and of earth, oh mother of the Lord of the world, oh Mary, creature most great, most exalted, most amiable, it is true that many on the earth do not love thee and do not know tnee; but there are innumerable angels and saints iu heaven who love and praise thee con tinually. On this earth, too, how many souls burn with love of thee, and live enamored of thy goodness.

Ah, if too, might love tnee, my most lovely Lady! Oh, that I might always be engaged in serving thee, in praising thee, in honoring thee, and in striving to awak en love of thee in others. A God hath been enamored of thee, who, by thy beauty,
if I may so speak, hast drawn him from the bo som of the eternal Father, to come upon the earth
and become man and thy Son; and I, a miserable worm, shall I not be enamored of thee? Yes, my most sweet mother, I also will love thee, love thee much, and do all in my power to make thee loved by others. Accept, then, oh Mary, the desire I have to love thee, and help me to
fulfil it:I know that thy lovers are regarded with much favor by thy God. Next to his own
glory, he desires nothing more than thy glory,
in seeing thee honored and loved by all. From
thee, oh Lady, I await all my blessings. Thou
must obtain the pardon of all my sins, thou must
obtain for me perseverance, succor in death, de
liverance from purgatory,
in a word, thou must
conduct me to paradise. All this thy
lovers hope from thee, and they are not deceived. This
I also hope, who love thee with all my heart, and
above all things next to God

EXAMPLE.
A young man in Perugia once promised the devil that if he would help him to commit a sin ful act which he desired to do, he would give him his soul; and he gave him a writing to that effect, signed with his blood. The evil deed was committed, and the devil demanded the perfor mance of the promise. He led the young man to
a well, and threatened to take him body and soul to hell if he would not cast himself into it. The
wretched youth, thinking that it would be impos sible for him to escape from his enemy, climbed the well-side in order to cast himself into it, but terri fied at the thought of death, he said to the devil that he had not the courage to throw himself in, and that, if he wished to see him dead, he himself should thrust him in. The young man wore about his neck the scapular of the sorrowing Mary; and the devil said to him: Take off that scapular, and I will thrust you in." But the youth, seeing the protection which the divine mother still gave him through that scapular, refused to take it off, and after a great deal of altercation, the devil departed in confusion. The sinner re pented, and grateful to his sorrowful mother, went to thank her, and presented a picture of
this case, as an offering, at her altar in the new church of Santa Maria, in Perugia.

PRAYER
Ah, mother, the most afflicted of all mothers,
thy Son, then, is dead; thy Son so amiable, and
who loved thee so much! Weep, for thou hast
reason to weep. Who can ever console thee?
Nothing can console thee but the thought that Je
sus, by his death, hath conquered hell, hath open
ed paradise which was closed to men, and hath
gained so many souls. From that throne of the
cross he was to reign over so many hearts, which,
conquered by his love, would serve him with.

Our Lady's prophecies: Innocence and modesty will almost no longer be found in children and women. They will focus principally on the children in order to sustain this general corruption. Woe to the children of these times!
A Message For Our Time. I make it known to you that from the end of the 19th century and shortly after the middle of the 20th century….Then Our Lady appeared to her and predicted many things about our own times: this is part of what Mother Mariana afterwards related that she told her:I make it known to you that from the end of the 19th century and shortly after the middle of the 20th century….the passions will erupt and there will be a total corruption of customs (morals)…."Further, in these unhappy times, there will be unbridled luxury which will ensnare the rest into sin and conquer innumerable frivolous souls who will be lost.

They will focus principally on the children in order to sustain this general corruption. Woe to the children of these times! It will be difficult to receive the Sacrament of Baptism, and also that of Confirmation…"As for the Sacrament of Matrimony… it will be attacked and deeply profaned.

The Catholic spirit will rapidly decay; "The Sacrament of Holy Orders will be ridiculed, oppressed, and despised… The Devil will try to persecute the ministers of the Lord in every possible way; "Further, in these unhappy times, there will be unbridled luxury, which will ensnare the rest into sin and conquer innumerable frivolous souls, who will be lost.Innocence will almost no longer be found in children, nor modesty in women. https://www.traditioninaction.org/OLGS/A004olgs_FourthApparition.htm

Now, it is true that Our Lady's prophecies here are concerned particularly with what will happen more than three centuries in the future "in what is today the Colony and will then be the Republic of Ecuador", where, she says, "Satan will reign almost completely by means of the Masonic sects". The most important thing to understand is that it would be just wrong to despair at all this. The fightback is underway. For, in the end, Our Lady of Quito's prophecies do not end with spiritual catastrophe.In a later apparition she foretold that "In order to free men from bondage to these heresies, those whom the merciful love of My Most Holy Son will destine for that restoration will need great strength of will, constancy, valor and much confidence in God. To test this faith and confidence of the just, there will be occasions when everything will seem to be lost and paralyzed. This, then, will be the happy beginning of the complete restoration." I believe we have seen that faith and valour over the last half century, above all in the present Holy Father and his heroic predecessor; and that that complete restoration has indeed happily begun. https://catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2012/07/26/our-lady-of-quito-prophesied-that-in-the-60s-there-would-be-spiritual-catastrophe-in-the-church-then-through-the-faith-of-the-just-a-complete-restoration/
