“Take, beloved son this scapular of thy order as a badge of my confraternity and for thee and all Carmelites a special sign of grace; whoever dies in this garment, will not suffer everlasting fire. It is the sign of salvation, a safeguard in dangers, a pledge of peace and of the covenant.” Our Lady of Mt. Carmel to St. Simon Stock  (Quoted by Joseph Hilgers. “Scapular.” The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 13. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912)
