Product Description
"The Red Scapular of the Passion" came about when Sister Appoline Andriveau, of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, had a vision of Christ in 1846 in which He promised an increase in the theological virtues (Faith, Hope, and Charity) of those who wore the scapular faithfully and contemplated His Passion. One side of the scapular shows Christ on the Cross, with the words, ""Holy Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ Save us"; the other side shows the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of His mother with the words, "Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, protect us."
Pope Pius IX granted the Priests of the Mission ("Lazarists") the faculty of investing the faithful with this scapular, and the Superior General of the Lazarists may allow other priests this faculty.
The scapular offered by the Confraternity of Penitents Holy Angels Gift Shop is a hand made , 2 inch woolen scapular on a red cord.
