Marian Prayers
Act of Consecration on Receiving the Brown Scapular
This act of consecration is prayed at the moment of enrollment in the Brown Scapular, when a priest blesses and imposes the cloth for the first time.
Rite of enrollment in the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (traditional form)
About the prayer
Enrollment happens once in a lifetime; afterwards the scapular may be replaced without further blessing. The prayer expresses what the scapular means in Carmelite theology: not a charm but a habit, the same garment worn by the friars and nuns of Carmel, given to lay people so that they may share in the Order's spirit of prayer and hidden service. The language of being "clothed" is drawn from St. Paul's exhortation to put on Christ (Romans 13:14) and from the ancient monastic rite of investiture.
