The Blue Scapular Prayer Book

52 By virtue of receiving and wearing the Blue Scapular of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M., and by the power of the directives of the Apostolic See of February 2, 1968, and of March 30, 2012, Confraternity members may obtain a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions on the day of receiving the Scapular and their admission into the Confraternity, as well as on the days listed below. The primary feasts of the Confraternity are: • The solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary (Dec. 8); • The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (November 2). Confraternity members shall live out the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception in profound love and gratitude to God and Mary. On this day they shall renew their devout commitment to her service, their faithfulness to Christ and His Church, and shall entrust to the maternal Heart of the Immaculate Virgin the entire Marian family. On the day of All the Faithful Departed, Confraternity members shall commend to God through prayers, sacrifices, and indulgences the souls of the departed suffering in Purgatory.
