He Should Have Died... (Brown Scapular Miracle)

from Lilies Among Thorns · host Julianna Vivas

I used to think the Brown Scapular was just a tradition until I experienced what I can only describe as protection I cannot explain away. This is my true story.Today I share two deeply personal Catholic testimonies that I believe reveal the power of Our Lady’s intercession and Brown Scapular miracles in modern life.The first testimony involves a night when my drink was spiked and my safety was at risk. In that moment of vulnerability I believe the Blessed Virgin Mary protected me through the Brown Scapular and called me back to purity, prayer, and obedience as a daughter of God.The second testimony is about my father’s car accident involving his truck, an event that should have been fatal. What followed is a near death experience that I can only understand through faith, prayer, and the protection of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.The Brown Scapular is a sacramental of the Catholic Church given through Our Lady of Mount Carmel as a sign of consecration, grace, and spiritual protection. This is not superstition. It is a true story and a testimony of God’s mercy working through Mary in real life.If you pray the Rosary, follow Catholic teachings, or are interested in Catholic miracles, Marian devotion, near death experience testimonies, or modern day faith stories, I hope this video strengthens your faith.Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/juliannarvivas/0:00 - Intro0:42 - Catholic Modesty and Authority Structure3:17 - My Drink Got Spiked9:30 - Brown Scapular Miracle15:36 - Why I Never Take This Off18:20 - OutroVIDEOS ABOUT THE BROWN SCAPULARThe Brown Scapular & St. Joseph : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8R6GWhf4PwThe Promises & Requirements : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm9sZmxY25kMiracles (Listen like a podcast) : https://youtu.be/s-x9o3rko18This video is a personal testimony shared in faith and reflection on Catholic devotion and the Brown Scapular.#catholic #prayer #faith
