The Blue Scapular Prayer Book

106 In the following words, the celebrant prepares those present for the admission and the blessing. God uses ordinary things as signs to express His extraordinary mercy toward us. Through simple things as well we express our gratitude, declare our willingness to serve God, and profess the resolve to live up to our baptismal consecration. The Blue Scapular is the sign of entrance into the Marian Fathers’ Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. This scapular thus expresses our intention of sharing in the spirituality of the Congregation of Marian Fathers. That intention renews our baptismal resolve to put on Christ with the help of Mary Immaculately Conceived, whose own greatest desire is that we become more like Christ in praise of the Trinity, until, dressed for the wedding feast, we reach our home in heaven.
