The Scapular, Assurance of Victory

The Scapular, Assurance of Victory

After having enrolled in the Brown Scapular, the priest recites the following blessings, and then sprinkles with holy water the Catholic who is henceforth consecrated to Our Lady: "By the power granted to me, I admit you to share in all the spiritual works performed with the merciful help of Jesus Christ, by the religious of Mount Carmel, in the name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. May Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth, bless + you whom He has been pleased to receive into the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. We beg Her to crush the head of the ancient serpent at the hour of your death and to obtain for you the palm and the crown of your everlasting inheritance. We ask this through Jesus Christ Our Lord."
