In just a few short weeks, we will begin using the Third Edition of the Roman Missal. I do hope that you’ve taken advantage of the number of resources I’ve made available over these past few months! Here are a few more resources:
A 4-page blessing/prayer service outside Mass done by LTP based on the Book of Blessings: Blessing of Missal.
A blessing from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is for use on the First Sunday of Advent and couples with the blessing of the Advent wreath: Roman Missal Blessing.
A “de-commissioning” of the sacramentary for use on the feast of Christ the King or the last day before the 1st Sunday of Advent: The Roman Missal decommissioning.

2 Comments on Blessings for the Revised Roman Missal
Interesting- never heard of decommissioning before.
“The Sacramentary is then reserved in the sacristy, a parish library or museum, or disposed of in a dignified manner.”
Also interesting: Just today I read at another blog that a sacramentary was going to be buried; I guess that would be covered by “disposed of in a dignified manner.”

Very Catholic, isn’t it?
