The Brown Scapular isn't something that Our Lady just came up with out of the blue. It has biblical symbolism that goes back to the Old Testament.
Since I started the project, I've had numerous requests from people who would like to take to the road and recreate my pilgrimage for themselves. The sad truth is that it's not so easy to exactly replicate what I did. The good news is that I can tell you how to form your own Marian Pilgrimage using your own resources and starting right from home.
I receive so many requests for prayers on a regular basis! The need for prayer is so great! Of course, I gladly pray for them, entrust them and their petitions to our Blessed Mother Mary, and encourage them to pray for others who are in need. Because this has become so popular, I've decided to include it in a weekly blog post called "Prayer Power," this being the first.
