Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and the Brown Scapular (S2, episode 3)

As we continue our mini series about Marian Consecration, we now talk about the Brown Scapular, a sacramental which has been popularly regarded by many saints as an external sign of devotion to Mary.

In this episode, Fr. Arnel Panique of the Order of the Discalced Carmelites walks us through its history and message.
