The Blue Scapular Prayer Book

47 A vailing O neself of the G races A ssociated with B elonging to the C onfraternity of the I mmaculate C onception and W earing the B lue S capular The acceptance of the Blue Scapular and the worthy wearing of it—which is an obligation of every member of the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception—ensure access to the many special graces of which Our Lord spoke and with which the Church endowed the scapular by the power of her authority. But participation in the spiritual benefits associated with the scapular requires assuming and fulfilling certain obligations. In order to increase in the Church devotion to the Immaculate Conception, the Blue Scapular was endowed, as mentioned above, with the many indulgences which are listed further in this handbook. Our Lady sees those wearing the Blue Scapular as her special children; she showers them with many graces and protects them against all evil.
