Accípite, fratres (soróres), hunc hábitum benedíctum, precántes sanctíssimam Vírginem, ut ejus méritis illum perferátis
sine mácula, vosque ab omni adversitáte deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. R. Amen.

BLESSING AND INVESTITURE WITH SCAPULAR
OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
The one who is to receive the scapular is kneeling. The priest, vested in surplice and white stole, says:
Ant. O God, we ponder your kindness within your temple. As your name, O God, so also your praise reaches to the ends
of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Our Father the rest inaudibly until
V. And lead us not into temptation.
R. But deliver us from evil.
V. Save your servant.
R. Who trusts in you, my God.
V. Lord, send him (her) aid from your holy place.
R. And watch over him (her) from Sion.
V. Let the enemy have no power over him (her).
R. And the son of iniquity be powerless to harm him (her).
V. Lord, heed my prayer.
R. And let my cry be heard by you.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray. Prayer
May Christ add you to the number of His faithful; and we, in spite of our unworthiness, include you in our prayers.
May God, through His only-begotten Son, the Mediator of God and men, help you to live well, to do good, to persevere
in your resolution, and to attain the inheritance of everlasting life. And as today brotherly love joins us in a spiritual
bond here on earth, so may the divine goodness, in whom all love has its origin and its growth, be pleased to unite us
with His faithful in heaven; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
After these come the following versicles and prayer:
V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who made heaven and earth.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray. Prayer
God, by whose word all things are hallowed, pour out your blessing + on this habit (these habits); and grant that
whoever will wear it in accord with your will and your law, as well as in gratitude to you, may, in calling on your holy
name, be rewarded with health in body and protection of soul; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
Lastly he sprinkles the scapular with holy water, and invests the person with it, saying:
Take, dear brother (sister), this blessed habit, and call on the most holy Virgin, so that by her merits you may keep it
spotless, be shielded by her from all adversity, and attain everlasting life. R. Amen.
