Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Even though I could not physically attend at the Cathedral or parish in my Diocese this Lenten season, My family was able to view the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament yesterday (Friday) afternoon that was being held by the Pope in Vatican City. It was helpful to us.
"Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament" is a Eucharistic practice in the Roman Catholic, traditions, in which the Blessed Sacrament is adored by the faithful. This practice may occur either when the Eucharist is exposed, or when it is not publicly viewable. Adoration is a sign of devotion to and worship of Christ, who is believed by us Catholics to be present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, under the appearance of the consecrated host. From a theological perspective, the adoration is a form of latria, based on the tenet of the real presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Latria is a practice with a strong emphasis on the internal worship.
