  • I remember when I was a teenager at high school 🏫 I was wearing a Brown scapular that my grandmother from my mom's side gave it to me but it was messed up, I wish I could wear a Brown scapular again, may Our Lady of Mount Carmel intercede for us through Christ our Lord. Amen 🙏🏼 I wish you all a Happy feast day of our lady of Mount Carmel.😊❤🙂😇🙏🏼

    Wearing my Scapular is a daily reminder that Jesus is always present in my Life. Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for us!
  • I want to thank you Fr Michael-Joseph Paris! Back when he was at my parish in md, he helped me question life and faith and lead me to Christ! Now look at him! God bless you. Thank you!
  • Great job Fr. Michael Joseph, so blessed to have you at Holy Hill. Thank you for sharing the faith! God bless you always!

    I wear the brown scapular and miraculous medal along with praying the rosary daily. I'm trying to become closer to the Blessed Virgin Mary and Our Lord, Jesus Christ 🙏
  • Excellent content!! Very refreshing to hear from the carmelites!
  • Been seeing and hearing about the scapular all week now, this video was just recommended to me as I woke up. I'm listening mama Mary, I hear you ❤
  • Thank you for this video filmed at Holy Hill in Hubertus, WI, on Our Lady's Feast Day!
  • Beautiful explanation. Prayers for continued blessings! Thank you.

    Thank you❤ I was given a brown scapular this morning after mass and this information was most helpful. God bless you
  • This was a beautiful video, the explanation was just perfect. Thank you Father! ❤️✝️🛐
  • Thank you for explaining where it comes from and what it means!❤ Praise be to God and Blessed be our Beloved Lady. Amazing story about the 🔥!
  • I'm an aspiring Third Order Carmelite. Coincidentally, I got my first scapular today and all I could say was THANK YOU! Thank you our Father in heaven, thank you Lord Jesus Christ for giving us your mother, thank you Holy Spirit, Thank you St. Joseph, and of course thank you to our mama, our Stella Maris, the flower of Carmel, Mother Mary! In times of confusion and worry I would always kiss my scapular, it really feels like I'm always being hugged by her and it gives me a lot of comfort knowing she's always with me. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, please pray for us. Please bless my brothers and sisters who are also watching this video, and guide us to the Holy Mountain, Christ our Lord. Amen! 🤎

    I've worn a scapular since I started receiving communion. I always wear it. Whether I'm in mortal sin or not. I have a scapular with Saint Michael on it.
