I have edited the text. You will find, if you search for "consecration of Russia" on our site, that we understand the necessity of the consecration being done in the manner prescribed by Our Lady. Dear Dugank,

Thank you for pointing out the unsatisfactory wording. I have edited the text. You will find, if you search for “consecration of Russia” on our site, that we understand the necessity of the consecration being done in the manner prescribed by Our Lady.

It was as if taking wedding vows, but done informally. A series of promises followed by "I do's". I was very excited about consecrating my heart to the Blessed Mother's, but I didn't know about these miracles associated with the Brown Scapular. Your stories have reinvigorated me.  I was invested into the Brown Scapular a day after the Fatima Statue visited our parish about 5 years ago. It was as if taking wedding vows, but done informally.

Going by the little information at hand, I would advise you to have another priest actually invest you in the scapular. Clive: It does not sound to me like he invested you.

He gave it to me in a time of distress. Is there anything I need to do before I can wear it? I have been given a scapular by a good friend of mine, but I have not been inducted or anything.
