If there is a Latin Mass community near you, you might consider donating it. They often fetch good money on eBay from collectors too.I was wondering how to dispose of this Missal. When I was young I don’t think it was permitted, they usually burned them I believe. My mother didn’t throw it away so obviously she didn’t feel it was right.
Thanks
Otherwise, burn or bury. Don’t throw it in the trash.Is recycling an option?If there is a Latin Mass community near you, you might consider donating it. They often fetch good money on eBay from collectors too.
Do you mean putting it into a recylcing bin to be mashed up for pulp? I don’t think so. Missals are sacramentals, like Rosaries or Scapulars. They should be disposed of reverently.Is recycling an option?
I think you are confusing Sacramentals with blessed objects. Sacramentals don’t lose that designation.
What would be a blessed object that CAN lose its sacredness?
A house, for example, can be blessed but once it is sold, it is no longer blessed. Sacramentals, such as Rosaries or Scapulars, can be blessed. If sold, they lose their blessed “status” (for lack of a better term) but are still Sacramentals. A sacred article is still sacred as long as it is recognizable. It may or may not be also a blessed object. A house can be blessed but isn’t a sacramental. A Rosary is a Sacramental that may or may not be blessed.
No. When our associate pastor had some missals damaged in a flood, we burned them and buried the ashes. If the missal is beyond repair, tnis is the proper procedure.Is recycling an option?
One that is sold
