Do the cords on the Red Scapular need to be made of red wool?
Yes! The French Red Scapular of the Passion and of the Sacred Hearts of Mary and Jesus is such a powerful devotional to have especially during the season of Lent. However, unlike other scapulars, this scapular has several physical requirements. Rest assured that our vintage-inspired Red Scapular, meets all of them:
Mandatory Red Wool Cords✅ It’s rare to find the Red Scapular with the mandatory red wool cords nowadays. Our red cords are 100% scarlet red worsted wool (the same color Jesus held in His Hands!) straight from Europe!
100% Red woven wool backing ✅
Image of the Crucifixion with instruments of the Passion and the inscription “Holy Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Save us”) on one side and on the other side a depiction of a small cross above the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary with the inscription “Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, protect us.” ✅ The text on our Red Scapulars is in French which is the language the original Red Scapulars were featured in, however, the words can be in any language. Our text translates to “Sweet Hearts of Jesus and Mary, protect us and save us” and “Holy Passion of my Savior, may it always be engraved in my heart”.
According to Sister Apolline, the Scapular of the Passion “will prove to us a strong armor against infernal assaults, an impenetrable shield against the arrows of our spiritual enemies.”
