How the Scapular Actually Works (feat. Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.) 

I once started complaining to my dad (who is a deacon) that my scapular was scratching me. He then said, "When that happens, just remember that Mary our Mother is praying for you." Those words have always stuck with me, so now when my scapular causes me discomfort, instead of frowning, I smile. Thank you for this video! It was so helpful.

I'm wearing a brown scapular and a miraculous medal necklace, and Mama Mary's prayer for me is a lifesaver when I accidentally choked a pear fruit few days ago. The doctor checked my xray and the result was normal. Praise God. Jesus works miracles even if we do not see it. Have Faith always. Jesus, I trust in You.

While I love how Fr. Gregory Pine explains, I also love the humility of Fr. Mark-Mary. He is intently listening and at the same time willing to also learn. I thank God for the two of you. :)

I see fr. Pine, I click!

I wore my scapular so often it wore out. It was a gift from my mother. She said she would get me another. She unfortunately passed after losing her battle with cancer. Until I saw this video, I forgot about it. I will go and get one for myself as soon as I can.

I'm non-catholic, and a new student into RCIA. I didn't know that 'monk's robes'(what I could closely simplify the garments), were called scapulars. I just thought they were worn in convents/friars as a form of modesty. I am glad to be informed otherwise of their proper use of attire. Thank you for the small enlightenment. I look forward to your next uploads! God bless you guys!

The timing of this is great. I was just working out outside doing kettlebell swings without a shirt on. Scapular was flying everywhere getting twisted in knots around my other necklace. I was thinking to myself "ain't no way this thing is coming off" 😂

Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices.🙏🏻❤️

Praise God.. my entire family wears scapulars... It's a sign of faith to Mother Mary and I am constantly explaining about it to everyone around me 😃

It lifts my heart to listen to Fr. Pine. When he speaks, he reminds me of my youngest brother who is becoming a Carmelite hermit 🥹♥️ So obviously we don’t get to hear his voice very often anymore. Praise be to God for every man and woman he calls to the religious life! May they live it devoutly!

I love it when there are collabs among different religious orders. God bless us all 🙏

It seems the best descriptor is that it is a “reminder” that will keep us focused on Christ and his mother Mary. Just like a rosary has no power in itself as an object, the scapular has no power in itself. But through wearing it (or praying the rosary), it becomes powerful by keeping us close to God.

Absolutely love Fr. Mark Mary and want him to continue his series, but I do think at this point Fr. Gregory Pine should have his own on Ascension Presents. Bc all of these videos with them together is just Fr. Gregory speaking while Fr. Mark stares at him for ten minutes, lol

Getting enrolled Friday! Pray for me

The scapular was given to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite friar in the XII century. The scapular is a piece of the habit of our Lady of Mount Carmel, which is Brown. St. Dominic was given the rosary, Mary's saltery.

Thank you, Fr. Pine, for the detailed info regarding this matter. I'm learning something new about my Catholic faith. And yes, regardless of anything, ultimate goal is our faith, which is the main core value that will lead us to Christ for our salvation. And thank you, Fr. Mark-Mary!

Thank you Fr Gregory for explaining the scapular. Before I came into the church I heard about scapulars & didn’t understand what they do. Thanks you all at Ascension Presents for helping me understand the catholic faith better.

I feel Safe wearing the Brown Scapular,always.

thank you for explaining this! last week at my Newman center, I received a brown scapular that was blessed by the priest there. I never fully understood it until now.

Loved it! I am a Dominican Associate OP from Columbus Ohio. Thank you for the explanation! ♥️

i really like the "we are gonna make it!". Thank you for this great videos!

Please pray for me bothers and sisters and ask God to grant me true repentance and contrition for my sins! Please offer penances and sacrifices for me too! I was away from the Church for 10 years and I am a relasping sinner who has made numerous sacreligious confessions and committed mortal sin on a daily basis I am also a recidivist I now realize. Please help me make reparation for my sins before time runs out! Your brother in Christ, Casey

Fr Pine's brain is kind of like in that movie Limitless. He must have a VERY high IQ. I mean, he is a mathematician and a theologian. You can tell his mind works FASTER. I am always in awe watching him.

oooo a crossover!! 😀 ive worn a brown one most of my life. i found it and just started wearing it again at the most sinful point of my life and it was a turning point. it tool a long time but it was like a safety harness. i was able to climb up it and back to some symbolism of faith.

So i wear my scapular every day only taking it off to workout/shower. I love my scapular Bc it has the sacred heart of Jesus on it and it’s super nice I take great care of it. I love this video thank you Father Pine

Comprehensive explanation. Thank you so much Brothers and Fathers

A video with the two of you is a real treasure! Love!

Thank you for this explanation. Very much needed!

I did not know what a scapula was for. I'm embarrassed to let you know how old I am and that I should have known this. 😂❤ I should have know. I saw them everywhere when I was a young girl. Never wore it though. We used to keep it hanging over our bed posts. Thank you for this information. ❤

Learn something new every day. Thank you!

"The sacraments extend the logic of the incarnation to the world" WOOW

Thank you again for the BEST info about our beautiful faith. God bless all of you 📿🙇‍♀️

WELL SAID, I HAVE TRIED HARD TO SUM IT UP AND HHACE STUMBLED TO FIT IT ALL IN. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Special gifts from God, giving a promise if we heed His Word. I've brown, green, blue and purple scapulars. Off topic, have you guys heard of the 'pardon crucifix'. I found 2 of them and the promise attached to them is stunning.

I just love this crossover

God bless you 🙏Ave Maria

Fr. Pine is a blessing !!

Great explanation and I love his self narration.

Thank you very helpful God bless ✨✨✨

Thanks Fathers!😁 ...I have a painful story as to why I no longer wear the Brown Scapular...which I won't share here. What I can say is later in life, my desire to be enrolled in the AWC came true and has brought me joy!🥰 God Bless!

God Bless you Frs! Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you Fathers. I have seen from Grandmother's and my parents wearing it . My entire family also wearing for the love of blessed Mother. I praise and thank Lord for that blessings.

God bless you both fathers

Wow! Just got mine yesterday!! The timing sure is unique!

Thank you

Thank you for this info 😊

Fr Mark was laser focused lol. God bless em

I am going to send this to a friend.

Thank you Fathers :)

Word.

God bless Father Pine

im 30 and have never in my life ever heard of this word. interesting!

I am a protestant, on my journey to being converted to Catholic at St. Francis mission, I have not been baptized yet the deacons ask me to be patient and wait tell next year for Easter during a big ceremony, I believe God has big plans for me in the faith so the wait is worth it, even though I have yet to be baptized, can I wear a scapular?

You guys crack me up. Thanks for the explanation!

This Easter Vigil I came home as a long time Protestant who loved Christ. St. Joseph had a Mt. Angel Carmelite Friar visit during a height of Covid here in Salem. So many came and got scapula’s. I got one but also in dear love got one for a dear Protestant brother. Did I sin to give a non-Catholic, though he was baptized Catholic, Protestant a blessed scapula? ✌🏻

AMEN.

Our youth ministry were selling them to raise money today, so I purchased one.

Great explanation! Thank you 🙏🏽

I was actually just thinking about enrolling in the Brown Scapular but I’m not entirely sure how to

This happens to me sometimes too!!!!

Thanks so much for the video! What are your thoughts on the Fivefold Scapular Devotion? I have read that St. Alphonsus Liguori wore a Fourfold Scapular.

Well. They work well.

That was awesome thank you!!

This is a really good explanation thank you I were one and love to where it

Thank you, Domican preisthood, Iam a lay third order Carmelite we wear scapular of outward sign of our Faith and believe that Blessed mother of mount Carmel gave scapular to saint Simon Stock as part of his habit to wear. Taken from her very brown gown she was wearing miraculously. So yes I've been wearing my for quite a few years. Since my twenties. So I believe in her divine Grace's by wearing this blessed scapular. Always even in shower. And for Protection as well. I had it on when a young woman hit me from behind with something in her back pack on my back right before I received Communion at church yes at catholic church near my home. I was shocked not once but twice. I was ready to turn around and strike her down. But thankfully church ushers took her outside before she could go before the priest that was holding Eucharist s for rest of parishers. I was ready to protect priest from her. Evil intentions. But thankfully I had scapular on it didn't do any damage to my shoulder but I was shocked and ready to protect preist! I do have background in law enforcement that's why. So yes my scapular save me and the holy elderly priest. From bad harm. My testimony for scapular . In Faith. This happened about two years ago. So awareness of self and others even in church is a wise thing to share with you in these challenging times . Today Oct. 2021 time. So thank you for your You Tube video on scapular. As a faithful tool like Rosary so yes indeed. Amen thank you in Jesus Christ. Name Amen.

Amen🙏🏻❤️

Ive been wanting to get one and one ive had my eye on has Saint Dymphna on it. Does it need to have certain images on it?

My girlfriend gave me a scapular and I loved it, but when our love fell apart I lost my scapular 2 months after it was a sign....i held onto it like as if it was a piece of her and I lost it. Sure sign to move on.

What about the Chaplet of Mary, and the chaste part?

Where can I buy a wool brown scapular hopefully made in America? So many scapulars now still made in China and not wool.

Towards the end of this video you talk about making up for the lack of the sufferings of Christ, what do you mean by that? As far as I know the Sacrifice of Christ is perfect and does not lack anything. Please explain!

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

3:50 😂😂😂😂 awesome

Genuinely trying to understand this, but I'm still confused by this teaching. If it were simply a sign of devotion to the blessed virgin then I get it, but why does this garment come with the promise of salvation attached to it? Are we not already sufficiently assured of God's grace in Jesus' work of salvation and in his promises in the sacraments? I don't understand what more could be added by wearing the garment.

Another question I have is should you get a new rosary if it gets mess up through bathung, or do you keep it like that. God bless and thank you

My scapular doesn't stay put. The back always rides up. I can't figure out how to keep it in place.

Important question. If we sin of someone around us sins while we are wearing the miraculous medal or a scapular, are we committing sacrilege?

Can you please do a video on Mary’s role as mediator, you touched on it here...would like clarity that her mediation is useless without Christ, as she still goes to Christ who is our ultimate mediator with the Father...

Is it true that if you don't display the scapular on the outside of your clothes that you're not receiving grace?

I was explained this in cd Juarez like 20 years ago by my padre. Basically same explanation, though he had to break it down over weeks of sun school. Brown Fransiscan? What's the green one?

where can I purchase a scapular? and do I need to have it blessed by a priest?

Would I be correct in assuming that this same logic applies to Benedictine medals which reportedly have exorcising capabilities?

The scapular is the kind of thing that makes Catholicism seem foreign and strange to me even though I converted to the Faith 20 years ago. Fr. Pine explains it beautifully, and yet I can see how many people, both Catholics and people who hate the Church, think the scapular is either magical or superstitious.

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have one that I've worn for a couple of weeks, but it keeps tearing off, I'm trying to figure how I can keep it from breaking

I want to ask what does the priest is supposed to say when we ask about the wearing,I ask a priest and he said he didn't know, but I know that the priest does say some kind of prayer over you to . Could you please explain this to me its important I want to wear it.

Issues. (1) the claim "if you wear the scapular *devoutly* you won't go to Hell." This is redundant stated the way it is stated. Being devout at death by itself guarantees you won't go to Hell. (2) another scapular says, "if you wear this, you won't spend more than a week in purgatory" (or something like that. Yet the Church already has, in the manual of Indulgences, granted an *automatic* plenary indulgence at the moment of death to every Catholic who prays regularly through their life

Wearing chaste and grace enabled clothing like the scapular, is a sign of one's righteouness as man of God.

I wear mine all the time. My Priest said I do not have to register it. Is that true???

What about the miraculous medal?

Where is located the original brown scapular that Mary gave to St Simon Stock?

What are the books inthe background?

Does one have to register themselves in something to wear the scapular?

How does one go about wearing a scapular in the ocean and pool with chlorine? I’m worried that it will come off or in will ruin my medals?

I keep trying to google the daily prayers I have to say for my brown scapular I just got and I’m having the HARDEST time finding clear answers, can someone comment it to me or link me where I can find it?

Any comments about the purple scapular?

You should invite Father Ripperger.

After this video Fr Pine had a hole through the side of his head after Fr Mark Mary's 9 minutes of laser focus

I wear the brown scapular.
