Because she is the mother of Jesus—Son of God and second Person of the Blessed Trinity—according to the flesh, she is rightly called the Mother of God (Theotokos) (CCC148,495). Mary is also called “Full of grace,” and “Mother of the Church”, and in Christian prayer and devotion, “Our Lady,” the “Blessed Virgin Mary,” and the “New Eve” (CCC722, 726 963).

Disposing of Blessed Items Including Blessed Palms and Holy Water & Containers that have held Holy Water

All blessed items should be disposed of in a dignified and reverent manner. There are two ways to dispose of blessed objects: by burning; or by burying them in the ground.

Blessed objects made of wood may be burned, while metal, ceramic, and other non-combustible materials should be buried in the ground. Blessed objects should never be thrown in the garbage.

Holy water should be put back into the earth by pouring it into the ground outside. It should not be poured down the drain.

The most important thing is that these objects be treated with respect and disposed of in an appropriate manner once they are broken or no longer of use.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The Gospel today sees Peter and his colleagues after the Resurrection, returning to Galilee and resuming the family business. They are fishing by night. Although it is true that fish feed by night, the mention of darkness here is more about the human spirit than it is about fishing advice. Modern life keeps darkness effectively under control; much of the world has been glowing radiantly through the night for a century. Yet just as surely as the Risen Christ breaks into Peter’s fishing, so does he break into the usual patterns of our own darkness, electric lights notwithstanding. It is Easter, and we are the people of the light. In our tradition, Evening Prayer, celebrated in monasteries, parishes, cathedrals, and homes everywhere, is a kind of solemn protest against the darkness and its claims, an act of praise for our light‑bearing God, and a commitment to carrying that light forward. Sunset is a turning point of our day, felt less acutely in an electrified world, but still an effective reminder that one day darkness overtakes us all. Yet our Eastering has taught us in a hundred ways that the victory belongs to the Bearer of Light. Easter summons us to transform our everyday “blackouts,” perhaps in a way as simple as a whispered prayer of thanks at evening for the blessings of the day.
