“Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death, Amen”
Although similar, this prayer is different from the Hail Mary in a special way. In the Immaculate Heart of Mary prayer we are asking our Mother, who is full of grace, the tabernacle of the Son of God, to pray for us from the depths of her Immaculate Heart. It strikes me how we are not referred to as sinners in this prayer, reminding me of the grace of conversion promised for those with the Green Scapular. To be sinners no more, to live completely in the Divine Will, to be Immaculate, this is conversion!
Almost ten years after apparitions at Rue de Bac – where Our Lady gave a religious Novice the miraculous medal to distribute to the world – another one of the same order was given the Green Scapular to distribute. Our Lady appeared to Sister Justine Bisqueyburu and later an interior voice revealed to her that this badge of the Immaculate Heart would be an instrument for conversion of souls in the world. The Green Scapular was approved by Pope Pius IX for devotional use.
The favours of the Green Scapular
- Conversion of those who do not have the faith
- Reconciliation to the Church for those who have lost/strayed from the faith
- Assurance of a happy death
- Strengthening of the faith for those already in the Church
- Protection from Satan for those who wear or promote the scapular
Requirements of the Green Scapular
- The Immaculate Heart of Mary prayer at least daily for the person with the Scapular. The prayer is “Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death, Amen”
- The Green Scapular is in the vicinity of the person receiving the graces (they wear it, carry it, it’s in their home)
Note that you can hide a Green Scapular in someone’s home to pray for them, the person receiving the graces doesn’t need to be aware of the Scapular.
If you have recently been given a blessed Green Scapular by someone please consider registering your name with us so that we can pray for you every day. Our mission is to distribute this Scapular and pray for those who receive it.
