You need to be Catholic to become a part of the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular. The Carmelite Order is a religious order of Roman Catholics.

If you get another scapular after your first one wears out, the new one doesn’t need to be blessed. When your first scapular is blessed, you as the wearer of the scapular are blessed for life.

Recite a prayer each day, such as the Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, or Night Prayer.

For example, it’s said that a priest who was shot at during a Mass was saved by his brown scapular because the bullets were embedded in it. Wearing the brown scapular means that if you are dying and have sinned, the Virgin Mary will help you absolve your sins so you die in a state of grace.

Do this in your Evening Prayer as well.

A worn out brown scapular should be buried or burned because it’s a sacred object. Never put a brown scapular in the trash.
