The scapular protects from spiritual and bodily dangers (I)

The wearing of the scapular is a discreet request from Our Lady during the last apparition, on October 13, 1917, in which she appeared in the third tableau in the guise of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Here is Lucia's testimony from her fourth memoir:

“Once Our Lady disappeared into the immensity of the firmament, we saw, next to the sun, Saint Joseph with the Child Jesus and Our Lady, dressed in white with a blue mantle. Saint Joseph and the Child Jesus seemed to bless the world, with the gestures they made with their hands in the shape of a cross. Shortly after, this apparition having vanished, I saw Our Lord and Our Lady in a form which gave me the idea that it was Our Lady of Sorrows. Our Lord seemed to bless the world in the same way as Saint Joseph. This apparition disappeared and it seemed to me that I still saw Our Lady under the aspect of Our Lady of Carmel.

Several times, Sister Lucia insisted on the importance of the scapular, notably on October 15, 1950 to Father Rafferty:

- Our Lady, Lucia told her, held the scapular in her hands because she wants us to wear it .

In many books on Fatima, Father Rafferty pointed out, the authors do not mention the scapular when presenting the message of Fatima.

- Ah! They are so wrong, the seer exclaimed, the scapular is the sign of our consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary!
