THE BROWN SCAPULAR

Today, let us talk about the powerful devotion of the Carmelite Saints to Our Lady through the Brown Scapular.

The Brown Scapular is likely the earliest form of the devotional scapular. It may even be referred to merely as “the scapular,” where all other scapulae are referred to in the full name or by some distinguishing characteristic. Along the same line, the phrase “The Feast of the Scapular” refers to the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Pious tradition holds that the Blessed Virgin appeared to St. Simon Stock on 16 July 1251 in England, with a scapular in her hand and said to him,“Take, beloved son this scapular of thy order as a badge of my confraternity and for thee and all Carmelites a special sign of grace; whoever dies in this garment, will not suffer everlasting fire. It is the sign of salvation, a safeguard in dangers, a pledge of peace and of the covenant.” According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, these precise words of Our Lady only appeared in written form in 1642, in a document that said these words had been dictated by Simon to his secretary and confessor. Historical documents cannot support the exact details or words, but the content is held to be reliable. That is to say, it is credible that Our Lady assured St. Simon Stock in a supernatural manner of her special protection over his whole order and all who would wear the Carmelite habit, indirectly extending to all Christian faithful who should wear the scapular as a badge of devotion, even if we cannot place the exact words.

JULY 15, 2025 | SAINT BONAVENTURE
SERAPHIC DOCTOR

Dear St. Bonaventure – Cardinal, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, you chose a life that embraced mortification and great humiliation. You served those who were rejected and sick, you risked illness for yourself. You made your life a continuous prayer and spent hours meditating on the wounds of Christ.

Image of St Bonaventure kneeling in prayer
St Bonaventure, please pray for me that I may have a sincere and humble heart. Pray that I may not lose sight of Jesus’ wounds and thus walk on the straight path to eternal salvation. Pray that I may take a great many souls with me to Our Heavenly Father.

St. Bonaventure you were known to say “One should carefully beware of decreasing, even in the slightest, the honour that is due to Mary.”
May I strive as you did to Love our Blessed Mother and be a carrier of her peace in this world.

St Bonaventure, please place my petitions:

(Share your requests…)

…in the loving hands of Our Blessed Mother whom, I pray, they will be warmly received by her Son. Amen.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha
1656-1680
Feast Day: July 14
Patroness: Ecologists, Native Americans
Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, known as Lily of the Mohawks was an Algonquin–Mohawk virgin. Born in Auriesville (now part of New York), she was orphaned during a smallpox epidemic, which left her with a scarred face and impaired eyesight. In 1676 she was converted and baptized by Father Jacques de Lamberville, a Jesuit missionary. Shunned by her tribe for her faith, she escaped through 200 miles of wilderness to the Christian Native American village of Sault-Sainte-Marie. Kateri was known for her spirituality and austere lifestyle. Various miracles and supernatural events are attributed to her intercession.

St. Camillus de Lellis, pray for us!
July 14
***
Humanly speaking, Camillus was not a likely candidate for sainthood. His mother died when he was a child, his father neglected him, and he grew up with an excessive love for gambling. At 17, he was afflicted with a disease of his leg that remained with him for life. In Rome he entered the San Giacomo Hospital for Incurables as both patient and servant, but was dismissed for quarrelsomeness after nine months. He served in the Venetian army for three years.
Then in the winter of 1574, when he was 24, Camillus gambled away everything he had—savings, weapons, literally down to his shirt. He accepted work at the Capuchin friary at Manfredonia, and was one day so moved by a sermon of the superior that he began a conversion that changed his life. He entered the Capuchin novitiate, but was dismissed because of the apparently incurable sore on his leg. After another stint of service at San Giacomo, he came back to the Capuchins, only to be dismissed again, for the same reason.
Again, back at San Giacomo, his dedication was rewarded by his being made superintendent. Camillus devoted the rest of his life to the care of the sick. Along with Saint John of God he has been named patron of hospitals, nurses, and the sick. With the advice of his friend Saint Philip Neri, he studied for the priesthood and was ordained at the age of 34. Contrary to the advice of his friend, Camillus left San Giacomo and founded a congregation of his own. As superior, he devoted much of his own time to the care of the sick.
Charity was his first concern, but the physical aspects of the hospital also received his diligent attention. Camillus insisted on cleanliness and the technical competence of those who served the sick. The members of his community bound themselves to serve prisoners and persons infected by the plague as well as those dying in private homes. Some of his men were with troops fighting in Hungary and Croatia in 1595, forming the first recorded military field ambulance. In Naples, he and his men went onto the galleys that had plague and were not allowed to land. He discovered that there were people being buried alive, and ordered his brothers to continue the prayers for the dying 15 minutes after apparent death.
Camillus himself suffered the disease of his leg through his life. In his last illness, he left his own bed to see if other patients in the hospital needed help.

Rosa Mystica (The Mystical Rose)
Feast Day: July 13
The Blessed Virgin Mary under the title Mystical Rose has been venerated in the life of the Church since ancient times.⁠ In 1947 Our Lady appeared to Pierina Gilli, a humble Italian nurse, with three roses upon her breast, asking for “prayer, penance, and reparation” as a way of practicing devotion to her under the title Mystical Rose or Rosa Mystica. The white rose symbolizes prayer and devotion, the red rose symbolizes sacrifice, and the golden rose symbolizes penance.

Feast day: July 13 (New), July 15 (Trad)
Patronage: the childless, the handicapped, those rejected by religious orders, dukes and kings
Saint Henry II was a German king and Holy Roman Emperor. He was educated by St. Wolfgang of Regensburg and succeeded his father, Henry, Duke of Bavaria. In 1002, he became king and in 1014, received the imperial crown at the hands of Pope Benedict VIII, with humility, for the greater glory of God. His goal was to establish peace and foster reform of ecclesiastical and monastic life in Europe. It is said that he lived in perpetual chastity with is wife St. Cunegundes of Luxembourg.
