Detente Scapular

Detente* Scapular
Catholic Accessories for Protection

In the year 1720, during an outbreak of plague in France, our Lord Jesus Christ gave a promise to one Venerable Ana Magdalena Rmuzat, saying that if the city would devote itself to His Sacred Heart and wear this sacramental, they would be spared from the diease. And by His divine promise and the faithful wearing of this shield, they were! Perfectly relevant for our time now when Coronavirus is sweeping across the Earth. Let us devote ourselves to Jesus' Sacred Heart and the promise of resting in Him with confidence.

In 1870, Pope Pius IX said this about the Detente: "It is a heavenly thought: It does come from Heaven. I give my blessing to this Heart and I want all those who conform to this model to receive this same blessing without needing any other. Furthermore, I want the devil to have no power over those who carry this Heart." Pope Pius IX granted 100 days of indulgence to those who carry the Detente.
