One of our catechumens comes to me before class last week and says “here, I got this for you,” and hands me a beautiful scapular.

My Lady, I can take a hint.

I carried it around for a few days waiting for a good moment with a priest, and was enrolled on Sunday after Mass in the vestry. I should probably go back and revisit some of the books on the Carmelites soon but for now, I just want to linger with her a bit longer in these final days of Lent.
