Tradition holds that Mary gave the Scapular to Saint Simon Stock (1165), promising assistance and protection to all who wear it.

This dual relationship underscores her intimate connection with humanity and her role in guiding us to become true children of God. She fosters our sense of kinship, helping us see that all people are part of God's family. This belief inspires hope for humanity to find a path to peace and unity. This painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel vividly captures this profound spiritual connection.

Her serene and compassionate presence in the painting speaks to the faithful, reminding them of her promise and protection. During a recent illness, receiving numerous Brown Scapulars brought immense comfort. Their profound significance and historical legacy resonated deeply, offering solace and a reminder of Mary's enduring presence and protection. The painting encapsulates this comforting and dynamic relationship, inviting viewers to experience the grace and peace that Our Lady of Mount Carmel bestows.
