A Priest’s Life is Saved




Still another Scapular miracle concerns a French priest who had gone on pilgrimage. On the 
way to say Mass, he remembered that he had forgotten his Scapular. He knew he would be 
late if he went back to retrieve it, but he could not envision offering Mass at Our Lady’s altar 
without Her Scapular. Later, as he was offering the Holy Sacrifice, a young man approached 
the altar, pulled out a gun, and shot the priest in the back. To the amazement of all, the priest 
continued to say the prayers of the Mass as though nothing had occurred. It was at first 
presumed that the bullet had miraculously missed its target. However, upon examination, the 
bullet was found ADHERING TO THE LITTLE BROWN SCAPULAR, which the priest had so 
obstinately refused to be without.
