upon entering the church
The Catholic term 'blessed sacrament' refers to the body and blood of Christ. More specifically, referring to the Wafer and Wine that is often used in church.
The Blessed Sacrament is the consecrated host (circular piece of unleavened bread) which is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, second person of the Trinity. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is a ceremony during which the Blessed Sacrament is set by the priest into a monstrance for adoration. The monstrance is a blessed, golden container used to hold the Blessed Sacrament. In its center is a circular space where the Blessed Sacrament, in a glass case, is set. Around this center is gold, usually sculpted into long thin pieces that radiate like light from the center where the Blessed sacrament is. This container for the Blessed Sacrament is held upright on a golden pedestal, which is part of the monstrance. During the ceremony called Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the priest exposes the host by setting it in the monstrance, and the monstrance is set on the altar in the church. Thus people can come and kneel and adore Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, which is held exposed in the monstrance.
The Literal Presence Of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
It is known as the Eucharist, Holy Communion, or the Blessed Sacrament.
The Blessed Sacrament is Christ's Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Therefore, the only appropriate place for it is in the sacred space of the church where it cannot be degraded or profaned. There are special circumstances, such as processions, that allow for a priest to carry the Sacrament outside the church, but these must be approved by the diocese and are typically for specific liturgical reasons, such as major feast days.
Very near the taberncale where the blessed sacrament ( body of Christ is kept)
In a special sanctuary on the Altar. There may be several in larger churches.
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. By Canon Law (Church Law), an oil lamp, know as a Sanctuary lamp, must always be burning before the Blessed Sacrament. This is usually a clear or red glass lamp on or above the altar where the Blessed Sacrament is reposed.
The priest comes into the Church, genuflects to the Blessed Sacrament, reverences the altar, and goes to his chair.
