Pamphlet that came with Green Scapular

I mentioned in the previous post that as a child I wore the Green Scapular. A beautiful explanatory and devotional pamphlet came with it, called "Among Mary's Gifts-The Green Scapular" by Robert A. Macdonald, C.Ss.R. The Imprimatur was by Lawrence J. Shehan, D.D., Archbishop of Baltimore, September 18, 1962. As a touch of nostalgia, the donation for one scapular was seven cents and 1000 could be had for $5.75.

Anyway, I found this blogspot that has one half of the pamphlet in digital form, and I thought you might like to read it. The Green Scapular has always been and remains a dear sign of devotion for me.
