Blangy The Green Scapular

Brief History

On January 28, 1840, in Paris-France, Our Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to sister Justine Bisqueybury, a sister of the "Daughters of Charity".  This began a series of visits which culminated in a special gift of Mary. One day  Our Lady appeared helding in her right hand her heart surrounded by flames, and her left, a type of Scapular.  This Scapular consisted of a single piece of green cloth suspended from a cord of the same colour.  On one side of the piece of cloth was a picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary as she had shown herself in the apparitions.  On the other was a heart all inflamed with rays more brillant than the sun and clearer than crystal.  Our Lady's heart pierced with a sword, was surrounded by an oval inscription surmounted by a cross.  The inscription read: "Immaculate heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death."  When the Green Scapular was distributed, God granted wonderful conversions and some bodily cures.

The Benefits of the Scapular 1. Conversion of those who has no faith 2. Reconcilation to the Chruch for those who have lost or strayed from thier faith. 3. Assurance for a Happy Death 4.  Strengthening of the faith for those already in the church 5.  Protection from satan for those who wear or promote the Scapular The scapular may be worn about the neck, or hung in the person's room, or placed under the pillow, or kept in a wallet, or placed in their clothing.  The prayer surrounding the heart should be repeated daily.  Great gifts of the Scapular are Physical & Spirituals cures & Conversions.
