"God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something, so that no human being might boast before God. It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, 'Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.'"
-1 Corinthians 1: 28-30
It has been said before that the only thing we can take credit for is our sins. All good things come from God, so anything good that we do is thanks to him. Lately, I have felt a new sense of faith in God working through me. Certainly, he was capable of working through me before, but I think my faith was too weak to allow him to do much. Specifically, the green scapulars are an amazing tool to help strengthen faith and cure physical and mental illnesses, but their power comes from faith of those that distribute it and/or those that receive it.
It's like Dumbo's magical feather that convinced him he could fly if he had it. Even after he lost it, he was still able to fly. The feather was just a tool to strengthen his faith as the green scapular is for us.
I have green scapulars for any one who wants one.
