Eucharistic Adoration
Eucharistic adoration is a practice in the Roman Catholic in which the Blessed Sacrament is exposed and adored by the faithful. The Eucharisrt is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and its celebration is the Source and Summit in the life of the faithful.
The importance of Eucharistic Adoration is shown in the fact that the Church has a ritual that regulates it: the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction. This is an extension of the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament which occurs in every Mass: "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb." Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church. The Rite concludes with the ordained minister blessing the faithful with the Blessed Sacrament.
