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.

Some important prayers during this rite include the Anima Christi and the Tantum Ergo.

Eucharistic Revival & Resources

On June 19, 2022, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), launched a Eucharistic Revival.

We believe the best way to increase faith in the Eucharist is the full and authentic celebration of the Mass – the source and summit of our faith (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, 10). Adoration of the Eucharist flows from the Mass and leads us back to it.
