Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
The "Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament" is a practice in the Catholic Church where the Eucharist is displayed for adoration. During this time, the consecrated host, believed to be the body of Jesus Christ, is placed in a special vessel called a monstrance. This allows the faithful to pray and reflect in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
Exposition typically occurs during Mass, special services, or designated hours of prayer. It encourages personal devotion and communal worship, inviting individuals to deepen their relationship with God. Many parishes offer this practice regularly, fostering a sense of peace and spiritual connection among participants.
