Today we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, the protectoress of the Carmelite Order. According to tradition, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel made this promise to St. Simon Stock in 1251 AD:
"Whosoever shall die wearing my Scapular shall not suffer the flames of Hell."
Blessed Pope John Paul II wore the Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
UPDATE: Benedict is pro scapular.
