Sabbatine privilege

 "Those Who Die Wearing This Scapular Shall Not Suffer Eternal Fire !"

Our Lady to St. Simon Stock  

The Sabbatine Privilege 

The Blessed Virgin of Mt. Carmel has promised to save those who wear the scapular  from the fires of Hell; She will also shorten their stay in Purgatory if they should pass from this world still owing some temporal debt of punishment.

This promise is found in a Bull of Pope John XXII. The Blessed Virgin appeared to him and speaking of those who wear the Brown Scapular said: "I, the Mother of Grace, shall descend on the Saturday after their death and whomsoever I shall find in Purgatory, I shall free, so that I may lead them to the holy mountain of life everlasting."

The Blessed Virgin assigned certain conditions which must be fulfilled: 

1) Wear the Brown Scapular continuously.

2) Observe chastity according to one's state in life. (Married/single.)

3) Recite daily the "Little Office of the Blessed Virgin."

Or, A) To observe the fasts of the church together with abstaining from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays. 

Or, B) With permission of a Priest to say five decades of Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary.

Or, C) With the permission of a Priest to substitute some other good work.

Note: You cannot substitute for the first two conditions: wearing the scapular;  and, observing chastity.

Pope Benedict XV, the celebrated World War I Pontiff granted 500 days indulgence for devoutly kissing your scapular. 

Indulgence: The remission in whole or in part for the temporal punishment due to sins. (Remission of time spent in Purgatory.)
