Catholic Plastic Beads

Is it sacrilegious to throw a rosary away?

Raised Catholic I am keenly aware of the importance of the rosary. These days I'm a bit more agnostic but I still have a small box full of rosaries, most of which are made with plastic beads or string that's been woven to form the beads. I'm moving soon and I don't have a lot of room and I wondered if it would be sacrilegious to dispose of all but one rosary. They're all over ten years old so I don't see a church being in need of old rosaries considering my church handed the things out (which is how I ended up with so many) but is it alright to just put the in the trash? :\

first to answer your question : the proper way to dispose of the Rosary is by either burning or burying.

drop them off at a church.
People like myself will collect them repair them and redistribute them to those in need of one.

Peace
and
God Bless

The following promises were given by the Blessed Mother to Saint Dominic and Blessed Alan in the twelfth century.
These promises are for Christians who recite the Rosary.

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

3. The Rosary shall be powerful armor against hell. It will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies.

4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish. It will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God. It will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice. He shall not perish by an unprovided death. If he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have, during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plentitude of His graces. At the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.

9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.

11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.

12. All those who propagate the holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.

14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

all these promises ar true and can be counted on

Good Luck with your move
