"The Sabbatine Privilege: Free of Purgatory on the First Saturday After Death..."

I've been about the Sabbatine Privilege.

In addition to the special grace of eternal salvation, connected with the Scapular, Our Lady gave another, which became
known as the Sabbatine Privilege.

On March 3, 1322, she appeared to Pope John XXII, communicating to those who wear her scapular, “As a tender mother, I will descend into Purgatory on the Saturday after their death and will deliver them and bring them to the holy mountain, into the happy sojourn of life everlasting.”4

What are, then, the specific promises of Our Lady?

1. Whoever dies clothed with the  Scapular, will not suffer the fire of Hell.

What did Our Lady mean with these words?

First, on making this promise, Mary does not mean that a person who dies in mortal sin will be saved. Death in mortal sin and condemnation are the same thing. Mary’s promise undoubtedly
translates into these words, “Whoever dies clothed in this Scapular, will not die in mortal sin.”

To make that clear, the Church often adds the word “piously” to the pledge, “He who dies piously will not suffer the fire of Hell.”5

2. Our Lady will free from Purgatory the person wearing her Scapular on the first Saturday after his or her death.

Although this privilege is often interpreted literally, that is, the person will be freed from Purgatory on the first Saturday after his or her death, “everything that the Church has officially
stated on several occasions to explain these words, is that those who fulfill the conditions of the Sabbatine Privilege, through the
intercession of Our Lady, will be freed from Purgatory shortly after death, and especially on Saturday.”6

In any case, if we are faithful in observing the words of the Blessed Mother, she will be much more faithful in observing her own, as
shown in the following example:

During the preaching of some missions, a young man who was touched by grace decided to quit his life of sin and receive the Scapular.

Some time later he lapsed again into disorderly passions and became even worse. Nevertheless, he kept wearing the holy Scapular.

Being the mother that she is, the Most Holy Virgin struck him down with a serious illness. During his illness the young man dreamed that he found himself before the most just tribunal
of God, Who condemned him to eternal damnation for his perfidy and his wretched life.

In vain did the hapless young man argue with the Supreme Judge that he was wearing the Scapular of His Holy Mother.

“And where are the customs that match this Scapular?” God asked him.

Not knowing what to answer, the unfortunate young man turned to Our Lady.

“I cannot undo what my Son has done,” she answered.

“But, Madam!” The young man exclaimed, “I will change!”

“Do you promise?”

“Yes.”

“Live then.”

At that point the patient awakened frightened to death by what he had seen and heard, and resolved thenceforth to wear Mary’s Scapular with greater seriousness. Indeed, he was healed and joined the Order of Premonstratensians.

And after an edifying life, he surrendered his soul to God, as the chronicles of the Order narrate.7
