Best Answer

Benediction is when the people receive a blessing from a consecrated host.

It is usually begun by singing the O Salutaris Hostia. The priest will say

"You have given them bread from Heaven", to which the people respond

"Having all sweetness within it". The priest will put on the humeral veil

(this will cover his hands, the purpose of which is to show that it is Christ

in the host, and not the priest, who will be delivering the blessing"),

raise the host, and blesses the people making the sign of the cross.

The host will then be reposed in the tabernacle, and the people will say

the Divine Praises. The overall mood should be reverent silence and prayer,

although the time may be broken up by appropriate prayers, hymns, homily,

rosary etc. Benediction is Adoration of the Eucharist.It contains rich and

incalculable blessings.
