In 1245, St. Simon Stock became superior general of the Carmelites. On the night of July 16 of that year, he asked Mary in his fervent prayers to the institute under its protection. At dawn, It appeared to him in the middle encircled by angels and light. She was dressed in the garb of the Order, and held in his hand a brown cloth which was the scapular of the Order. She gave it to St. Simon after being coated by saying: "This is a privilege for you and all Carmelites. Whoever dies wearing this habit shall not suffer eternal fire."
Thus, this sacred garment is a huge gift that keeps anyone from Hell who died in the bears. This appearance and the gift, a Catholic, like many others, demonstrate and confirm the association of the Blessed Virgin in the work of redemption.
Tomorrow is the feast of Our Lady of Mount Caramel, then pray to the Virgin Mary, and invoke all the saints of the Carmelite Order, they intercede for us!
