“Say your Rosary everyday…. Wear the Scapular devoutly and perseveringly. It is my garment. To be clothed in it means you are continually thinking of me, and I in turn, am always thinking of you and helping you to secure eternal life.”

"The little Brown Scapular Coloring Book" is a book for these times! It reinforces our Blessed Mother's urgent call for the wearing of the Brown Scapular and daily Rosary (Rosario~Diario) prayers. "They are inseparable," per Venerable Sister Lucia - Marian apparitions in Fatima and Saint Dominic, who also had said about the Most Loving Mother of GOD, "One day, with the Rosary and the Scapular, She (Mediatrix) Will save the world!" Peace.

"Mrs. Francine Calabrese's book: The Little Brown Scapular Coloring Book, is used at Our Lady Queen of Peace in Branchville, New Jersey for the education and investiture of our second grade First Holy Communicants and for adults who seek to deepen their devotion to Our Lady, the Rosary, the Carmelite spirituality, and fulfill the messages of Fatima and Meðugorje. I can testify to this books and Francine's presentations being incredibly successful in the work of deepening Marian devotion in my parish."

"During my time as a religious education director at Sacred Heart in Rockaway,NJ, we invited Francine to come speak about the Brown Scapular. She was very enthusiastic in sharing the stories with the children and her coloring book was something that helped drive home the stories. The kids had a memorable morning and I saw many wearing their scapulars in the following weeks."
