The Green Scapular is called the scapular of conversion.  This sacramental was given to the world in 1840 when Our Lady, carrying the Green Scapular,  appeared to Sister Justine  Bisqueyburu, a French Sister of Charity.   The Blessed Mother told Sister Justine, "This holy badge of my Immaculate Heart is to be the means of conversion of souls..." Over a six year period our Lady appeared many times to Sister Justine and answered her many questions concerning the scapular and its usage.

Our Lady said that the Green Scapular needs no special blessing nor does one need to be invested or enrolled in it. Any priest may bless it. It may be worn or carried by the individual or even placed unknown to the individual in his or her clothes, bed or room.

The prayer, "Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death" is to be prayed daily.  If the person for whom the scapular is intended will not say the prayer, then the one who gives the scapular must say it in his or her place, everyday.

Will the Green Scapular convert those for whom we pray?  Our Lady said, "The greatest graces come from using the scapular but these graces come in direct proportion to the degree of confidence in me which the user has." 

Our Lord desires that all men and women come to a knowledge, love, and service to Him.  The Green Scapular is a private devotion which, when used with faith and trust, is a prayerful assistance in this process.  The choice to turn to the Lord is always a personal one.  However, Our Lord can make it very difficult to refuse Him.  Let us ask Our Lady to help draw our loved ones to the One Who loves without measure.

Pope Pius IX approved the use of the Green Scapular on April 3rd, 1870.
