The Brown
Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel UNITED to The Scapular of Our Lady Mediatrix of all Grace:
OUR LADY’S SACRAMENTAL LOVE
THROUGH HER GARMENT OF GRACE
800 years ago St. Dominic, founder of the Dominicans, made this prophecy: "One
Day, through the Rosary and Scapular, She Will Save the World." The Brown
Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is a great gift from heaven. The Brown
Scapular is a sacramental, a sign of faith.
It is part of the habit of Carmel. The Carmelite Order, to which the
scapular belongs, originated on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land near the cave of
Elijah the Prophet, who was the inspiration of the early members of Carmel.
During the last apparition at Fatima (October 13, 1917), the Blessed Mother
held in Her hand a Brown Scapular while She presented Herself as Our Lady of
Mount Carmel. When asked why Our Lady held it, Sr. Lucia answered, “….because
She wants everyone to wear the Scapular… because it is our sign of Consecration
to Her Immaculate Heart”.
St. Simon
Stock,
General of the Carmelite Order, was the man God chose to accomplish great work
in his Order. About 1251, when difficulties seemed insurmountable, Simon had
recourse to Mary, who he loved. According to tradition, She appeared to him and
made the Scapular of the Carmelite habit a sign of Her special love and a Pledge
of Her Motherly protection, saying: “This
shall be to you and all Carmelites a privilege, that anyone who dies clothed in
this shall not suffer eternal fire; and if wearing it they die, they shall be
saved”.
To obtain the full benefit of the
Brown Scapular devotion, one must be validly invested in the Brown Scapular.
Only priests are permitted to invest someone in the Brown Scapular. 16 July,
Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a good day for this. A deteriorated
scapular should be burned or buried; any metal or plastic covering may be
discarded. The new scapular must be blessed before using it. We should kiss the
Scapular devoutly when in temptation and we awake from sleep. It is a precious,
wordless embrace with Mary, Our Mother. Pope Benedict XV attached 500 days
indulgence to this simple act.
In
1950, Pope Pius XII wrote the now-famous words concerning the Scapular: “Let it
be your Sign of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which we are
particularly urging in these perilous times.” St. John Paul II,” The sign of
the Scapular evokes two truths: constant protection of the Blessed Virgin, not
only on life’s journey, but also at the moment of passing into eternal life.” On
17th July 2011, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI referred to wearing the Scapular as
a "particular sign of union with Jesus and Mary,” when he addressed
Polish-speaking pilgrims gathered at the papal summer residence in Castel
Gandolfo to pray the midday Angelus. "For those who wear it, it is a sign
of Filial abandonment to the Protection of the Immaculate Virgin," he
said. "In our battle against evil, may Mary, our Mother wrap us in Her Mantle."
SCAPULAR OF OUR LADY MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACE:
OUR LADY’S
SACRAMENTAL LOVE THROUGH HER GARMENT OF GRACE, BATIM, GANXIM GOA:
We have four important Messages from Our Lady:
1) Feast day of the
Visitation of Our Lady, 31st May 2011, Our Lady speaks to iveta: “…I
desire that you bring forth this Scapular, just like the one I made known to
Dominic My beloved son. It shall have The Image of I WHO AM THE MOTHER OF GOD
with the CHILD JESUS and Dominic My beloved son receiving The Scapular with the
brown (fabric) as a remembrance of, My brown Mantle attached to it.
On the second part, shall be the same
as The Mediatrix Medal’s front and back reveals. In this way it shall be that
in these times I shall protect and conquer souls for God. This promise is for
those who wear it: shall walk hand in hand and in My Shadow. No evil shall
snatch them from ME, their Heavenly Mother.
The two parts revealed shall be bound
together with a white cord, to reveal that when you wear it, you are united to
I WHO AM THE MOTHER OF GOD, Our Lady of Mt ( Mount ) Carmel, Mediatrix of All
Graces. This is My Motherly promise to all My beloved children. I love you
dearly and desire to bring you to heaven when your exile on Earth is completed.
Amen…”
2) Our Lady of Fatima Feast
Day Batim Ganxim
– Goa, October 13th 2014 : Our Lady's Visitation. “…Beloved children, I desire with great desire
to thank My beloved
Chosen Sons present here to receive My Graces. It is through
you that My Graces will flow upon My Garment, The Garment Of Grace as I
release today and unveil The Garment of Grace, the Scapular under the title of the Mediatrix of All Graces,
I Who am She..”
3) October 15th
2014: Goa:
St. Therese of Avila
Feast day: “…A Sacred object that has been, like My Garment
of Grace, that has
been blessed cannot
be sold or it will
be like that
moment when the Garment
of “JESUS” at the foot of the Cross divided
and sold, as in gambling, a
vice, may this vice not be repeated with My Garment of Grace, for Grace will be obstructed and will not flow
as it is to be desired by Me. Amen…”
4) Batim Goa. All Saints Day. Our Lady’s Visitation
November 1st 2014 “…I desire
with great desire to bring you once
again into the understanding where many
of you
have abandoned
this understanding of My Sacramental
Love through My Garment of Grace, after it has been blessed by a Consecrated Catholic Priest, in union
with His Bishop,
and obedient to The Holy Father, known
to you as The Scapular…”

TESTIMONY: Miraculous
protection by Scapular of Our Lady Mediatrix of all Grace of Batim, Goa
On
24th Dec 2017 evening, my husband Erasmo was fixing decorative lights, finding
a fault in the extension cord he was trying to check and repair the same with
the current on. Suddenly his fingers slipped from the tester and landed on to
the box and live wires, he was electrocuted,
stuck in that position and could not shake himself free. He called out to my
sons in the adjoining room to switch of the mains.
Erwin
came out of his room and saw him shaking/shivering and immediately put off the
main switch. His fingers and thumb were badly burnt, but he was safe. It could
have been worse if nobody was near. He could have even got a cardiac arrest.
Truly it was a miracle he was saved. He attributed this miracle to our dearest
Mother Mary. He devoutly wears the Blessed Scapular of Our Lady Mediatrix of
All Grace, which I got from Dr Celcio Dias from Batim
Truly
we believe that Mary is with us always and protects us from all evil n danger.
Thank
You Dearest Mother.
