In less than 5 hours, the fire had destroyed 22 homes. Amidst the heaps of ash and the long row of ruin, only one building remained standing. It was the home on which the Brown Scapular hung. When the raging inferno had reached the house, the flames had flown above and all around it. But in the end, there the home stood, the tiny scapular still dangling from the door, completely undamaged by the fire. Hundreds of people came to see this amazing spectacle for themselves. And every one of these eye-witnesses can now testify to the incredible intercessory power of Our Lady, shown through her Brown Scapular.
