Do You Wear A Scapular

[MissScripture]

[quote name='Micah' timestamp='1284470954' post='2172997']
Once enrolled always enrolled. After the initial enrollment and blessing, you can wear new ones without a prob.

Edit: forgot, this is only for the cloth scapular.

But I don't remember for sure if I WAS enrolled...

I used to wear one for a short time until the wool started to irritate my skin and I broke out in a rash. I think I'm allergic to it. I tried to wear the scapular medal, but I'm not into jewelry or anything of the sort, so I don't wear anything right now.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a White Dominican Scapular for laity? I've been trying to find one with no luck.

It's weird. I have looked on every website that has scapulars that I can find, and not one of them has a Dominican scapular. Brown scapulars and green scapulars, but no Dominican! About the closest thing I can find is a White Trinity scapular.

You know, funnily enough, I was doing some research on the brown scapular to find out more about it and I discovered that the scapular that I was wearing at first was not wool but felt! No wonder it made me itch. I found out that one of the scapulars I received during a "Come and See" visit from some nuns is a 100% wool scapular and is comfortable to wear (so far). So I hope that I am able to wear the scapular for good now.

I've been wearing one every day, all day for years. I don't believe I was ever investured (now that doesn't sound right) aside from having a priest bless it. Anyway, I love Our Lady and I really don't feel called to stop wearing it.

Well, the wool scapular didn't last either. I wore it all last night and had to take it off this morning because my skin started itching badly. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Have you ever seen those "Five-Fold" scapulars?

Like this:

[img]http://www.ihomm.org/images/fivefold.gif[/img] [img]http://www.ihomm.org/images/all5.gif[/img] [img]http://www.ihomm.org/images/fivefold2.gif[/img]

One of my friends wore one of these in university. I thought it was pretty cool. Aaand I want one. Haha!

Here's what it contains:

[font="arial"][size="3"]The Five-Folds :[/size][/font][list][*][font="arial"][size="3"]Outer - the red or the "Passion Scapular"[/size][/font][*][font="arial"][size="3"]Back - the white, or "Blessed Trinity"[/size][/font][*][font="arial"][size="3"]Between/Middle - the brown, or "Our Lady of Mount Carmel"[/size][/font][*][font="arial"][size="3"]The black - or "Our Lady of Sorrows"[/size][/font][*][font="arial"][size="3"]The blue - or "The Immaculate Virgin Mary"[/size][/font][/list]

And here's the website I found it on: [url="http://www.ihomm.org/five.html"]http://www.ihomm.org/five.html[/url] Plus, the site also includes the "Blessing and Investiture" prayers.

Seems legit. The last time I saw one, it was a little pricey for me. (About $20, but that was at the Nat'l Shrine of the Immaculate Conception...so, maybe I can find it cheaper around here. )

Actually LC, I think that San Juan laid and Teresa off you because you DO seem to have an intensely stubborn affinity for the Dominicans. And Thomas is a pretty neat guy too.


It just didn't seem right to mess with that.

Juanito knows you need to preaaaaach! Especially about him

[Studiumecclesiae]

My scapular is much simpler than that, just black... but I love those you show, laetitia crucis!
I want one as well!!!
I've been wearing for a couple of months now. I feel safer.

[bmb144]

This is really very interesting as mine is for St Michael the Archangel but has a St Benedict medal attached to the cord also. Looks like I have an uncommon one.

[Tally Marx]

I've never been "investured". I honestly had no idea you had to be.
But I have been wearing the brown scapular for more years than I care to count.
Once, I had a scapular with a picture of Padre Pio on one side! I don't think it was a special type of scapular, just a regular brown wool one that happened to have a picture on it (I heard it was alright to have a picture on one side provided there's still the cross on the other). Anyway, it was really pretty.

[HollyWilliams]

I do wear a Scapular! I wear the Brown Scapular Medal! I can't wear the cloth one because it irritates my skin too much.

[Chiquitunga]

This is an old thread but I've been searching for different types of brown scapulars as I want to give everyone in my family one for Christmas, and my brother has a hard time wearing one ..

Mater, did you find anything? There are also these wood laminate ones with the wool inside, [url="http://www.totallycatholic.com/sacramentals.htm"]http://www.totallyca...acramentals.htm[/url] which are made so you can wear them all the time, like in the shower, which is the only time I will ever take mine off (or swimming, though I haven't for years)
