It is amazing what you can learn in Bloggerville. I learned about scapulars (pictured right) when I read
this post at Julie's place. Here is an excerpt:
In my mom's case, her scapular was wool and was worn in winter and summer under the clothes directly against the skin. The point? To irritate the skin at all times so that you would remember that you needed God, that you should never be fully content with life and therefore forget that you needed God.
She said they scratched and itched all the time. And in summer, they were hot. She wore these starting in Kindergarten. Not optional.
Her mom also told her about having to sit uncomfortably in school so that her guardian angel would have room to sit. Who said that fundamentalism is limited to the right wing of religion?
