The year is almost over... wow!
I always wear my scapular. It's a strictly Catholic thing, I'm pretty sure, so I'll try to explain it for those of you who don't know about it. It is a simple necklace made of a string cord attached to two small rectangles of brown wool. Scapulars are a way to - I think - remind us that our suffering will be turned to joy when we reach Heaven. See, the wool is not comfortable, it's pretty itchy. Wearing it doesn't always complement my outfit, especially when I'm wearing a v-neck top, but it's worth it because Our Lady of Carmel has blessed all scapulars saying, "Whosoever is found wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire," meaning we won't go to hell if we die wearing this blessed garment. Granted, you also have to live a good life free of mortal sin and all that.
