St. Francis made a living crib, an enactment of the birth of Christ near the town of Greccio on Christmas Day, and so popularized the making of a crib scene in our homes, workplaces, churches, hospitals, schools and shops at Christmas. Desiring to represent as faithfully as possible the lowly poverty of the infancy of the Saviour born at Bethlehem, when the Feast of the Nativity was at hand, Francis sent word to a religious nobleman in the town of Greccio named John who provided an ox and an ass, with a stable, in anticipation of the joys of the coming celebration. Finally the holy night arrived, and Francis was there with many of his brothers gathered around him. The hay in the manger is prepared, the ox and the ass are arranged around the manger, and the vigil celebration begins with joy. A great multitude of people stream together from various places with candles and torches as requested by Francis to light up the night just like that first Christmas night lit by a star. He ensured that everybody including flora (represented by hay) and fauna (represented by the ox and ass) had a part to play in the Nativity scene since he knew that the Saviour was born for all.  And so, out of Greccio was made a new Bethlehem! Francis stood before the manger overcome with joy, and Mass was celebrated over the crib. After the celebration, Francis insisted that care be taken of the hay and the animals, reminding us to take care of every created thing even after we no longer need it! St. Francis’ initiative at Greccio popularized the making of a Christmas crib in our homes, churches, hospitals, schools and other places where we wish to remember the Christmas event.

The Purple Scapular Packet

HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE FREE DOWNLOADS CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE FREE DOWNLOADS CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS WATCH ONLINE The Purple Scapular Packet   What is the Purple Scapular? In 1878, in a small town in the northwest corner of France, Our Lady and Jesus himself appeared to the approved mystic and stigmatist, Marie-Julie Jahenny. They showed her the truly astounding Scapular of Benediction and Protection, more commonly known simply as the Purple Scapular. Our Lady promised Marie-Julie that those who possess this scapular “will see their family and home protected… from fires, chastisements, storms, and darkness. They will have light as if it were plain day.” Crucially, it is “like a lightning rod beneath which the blows of divine wrath will not strike.” Jesus also revealed that those who reverently use it “will be spared the troubles of the soul” and “will be sheltered from danger as if they already possess heaven.” The following video, which is very brief and beautifully produced, is the best introduction to the history, meaning, and promises of the Purple Scapular because it relies upon the very words which Jesus and Mary themselves spoke to Marie-Julie. Watching this video will help you understand the profound theological meaning heaven wishes to convey regarding the specific images embedded within the overall scenes or related symbols on the Purple Scapular pictured above: https://youtu.be/q8-RVxD3JuY Ever since it was first revealed to Marie-Julie over 140 years ago (including its explosion in popularity among devout Catholics in the U.S. and Canada since 2020), families all over the world have displayed this divine insurance policy in their homes and have received the consolations of knowing that God will protect them from natural and supernatural dangers. There are many witnesses to the supernaturally protective value of the Purple Scapular. As just one example, a few years ago, Christine Watkins of California, the well-known Catholic author, hung this extraordinary divine insurance policy on a wall in her home and prayed the brief Purple Scapular prayers. Just two days later, one of the most massive wildfires in California history began racing toward her neighborhood, led by a scorching 100-foot tall wall of flames! Fire came from all sides. Entire homes and properties were quickly engulfed in the enormous furnace of destruction. Houses were burning to the ground in minutes. Christine’s home, however, was left completely unscathed. Not only did the wall of fire spare her house with zero damage, but it actually passed around her entire property, leaving even her fruit trees untouched. The divine promises of the Purple Scapular are real; this is because its protections are founded upon a loving, all-powerful God who cares about your family’s safety. All you need is the simple act of faith of placing it on a wall in your home. The founder of this website, Bud Macfarlane, based upon his personal experience of having Purple Scapular near the entrance of his own home, believes one of the most profound spiritual benefits of the Purple Scapular is the deeply peaceful grace of consolation he receives every time he gazes upon it as he comes and goes, day after day. This is why the Purple Scapular spreads by word-of-mouth and when visitors see it for the first time in the homes of friends and relatives. Can you imagine it adorning a wall in your home? Offered at cost by the Mary Foundation as a “tool for evangelization,” your beautiful, soft, and durable all-woven wool Purple Scapular will arrive in a lovely gift box with a card featuring the official Purple Scapular Prayers and an explanation of its divine promises. Each one comes with the blessing of a Catholic priest, is sprinkled with Lourdes water, and is touched to Bud’s first-class saint relics as a free service to help with your gift-giving. In large part because of their complexity and the exacting material requirements specified by Our Lady, it was extremely difficult to find an authentic Purple Scapular before the Mary Foundation made its premium-quality version available. Our Lady herself described it as “unknown,” to Marie-Julie Jahenny, so perhaps there is a providential reason why you are finding out about it today. Who is Marie-Julie Jahenny? Born in 1850, Marie-Julie Jahenny was a Catholic mystic who lived in a rural northwest region of France called Brittany (Breton). In recent years, she has become known primarily for her apparitions in the late 1800s from Jesus and Mary revealing the Purple Scapular of Benediction and Protection. She passed away at the age of ninety. Her experiences and revelations were approved by the Bishop of Nantes in 1875. At the age of twenty-three, she received from God the stigmata: she bore and suffered the crucifixion wounds of Christ in her body. On several occasions, she undertook extended periods of complete fasting from food, miraculously surviving while consuming only Holy Communion. Many of her prophesies of specific future events came to pass; some have yet to take place. Marie-Julie Jahenny was prayerful woman who never married. Her parents were peasants. She lived in the family home under the religious rule of the Third Order Franciscans. She had little education, spoke only French, and was not a celebrity. Due to her mystical and physical sufferings, she was often confined to her bed or to a chair. In her home town she was known for her modest nature, courtesy, and her great love of adoring Jesus’ true presence in the tabernacle at the local Catholic church. She was obedient to her local Catholic priest and to her bishop. The Purple Scapular Prayer (The Crux Ave) Word-for-Word from Our Lady I hail thee, Jesus crucified,for granting me life. I hail thee with all the joyof the…
