The Blue Scapular Prayer Book

111 P rayer of B lessing With outstretched hands, the celebrant continues: O God, the author and perfecter of all holiness, You call all who are reborn of water and the Holy Spirit to the fullness of the Christian life and the perfection of charity. Look with kindness on those who will join today the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception and who will devoutly receive the Blue Scapular in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary Immaculately Conceived. As long as they live, let them become sharers in the image of Christ Your Son and, after they have fulfilled their mission on earth with the help of Mary, the Virgin Mother, receive them into the joy of Your heavenly home. We ask this through Christ our Lord. All: Amen.
