Is Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament considered a sacramental?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerYes. A sacramental is anything that is used or done in the manner of a sacrament, but is not instituted by our Blessed Lord. That covers an awful lot, and it would certainly cover Exposition I should think. However, Exposition, per se, is not what we would normally think of when someone mentions "sacramental". Your first thought would be a rosary, or holy water, that kind of thing.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

　

Sacramental. Objects or actions that the Church uses after the manner of sacraments, in order to achieve through the merits of the faithful certain effects, mainly of a spiritual nature. They differ from sacraments in not having been instituted by Christ to produce their effect in virtue of the ritual performed. Their efficacy depends not on the rite itself, as in the sacraments, but on the influence of a prayerful petition; that of the person who uses them and of the church in approving their practice. The variety of sacramentals spans the whole range of times and places, words and actions, objects and gestures that, on the Church's authority, draw not only on the personal dispositions of the individual but on the merits and prayers of the whole Mystical Body of Christ.
