What is the prayer before the Blessed Sacrament?
If the Blessed sacrament is within a closed tabernacle it is proper to genuflect, or in some circumstances make a reverential bow. When the Blessed Sacrament is exp[osed for Eucharistic Adoration one should kneel on both knees upon entering or leaving the area where the Exposition is located.
What is sign in a church that the the blessed sacrament is reserved there?
Catholic AnswerA wax candle, (known as the sanctuary lamp) generally in a red glass container is always kept burning by the Blessed Sacrament when It is reserved in a Catholic Church or chapel. This is an indication to the faithful of Christ's abiding love and a loving reminder to respond with loving adoration in return. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980 AnswerSigns indicating whether the Blessed Sacrament is present or not have become misunderstood over the years by Catholics due to poor catechesis. Most think that if you enter a chapel or church that contains a lit sanctuary lamp (prominent candle in proximity to the tabernacle) that this indicates that the Blessed Sacrament is present. It does, but only indirectly. The lamp actually represents the faithful, who are represented by the lamp as having their thoughts and prayers and adoration ever before the Blessed Sacrament, if only in spirit. A sanctuary lamp is easy to spot, they are usually placed in close proximity to the tabernacle on their own separate stand and are either behind clear or red-tinted glass. In older churches the sanctuary lamp is suspended in an ornate vessel over the sanctuary itself. In many modern churches they use an electric lamp that simulates a candle. It is not the sanctuary lamp, however, that indicates that the Blessed Sacrament is present, but rather whether there is a tabernacle veil over the face of the tabernacle. This is reminiscent, of course, of the Jewish Holy of Holies which always had the great veil drawn before it with only priests being permitted beyond. The tabernacle veil is usually the same liturgical color as the feast of the day. Few modern parishes, however, retain this custom, instead keeping the face of the tabernacle bare. This was done on purpose during the liturgical reforms of the 1960s to symbolically assert that no longer would the priest have sole access to the mysteries of God and to emphasize the priesthood of the people. Practices following from this, such as Communion in the hand, Eucharistic ministers, and tabernacles being placed outside of the sanctuary are all part of the same novel theology. The people, therefore, in modern parishes have come to trust the sanctuary lamp as an indication of the Blessed Sacrament, since no tabernacle veil is used. There are conservative parishes where the tabernacle is still veiled, and upon entering these, even if a sanctuary lamp is not present or is spent, it is plain the Blessed Sacrament is present. One other indication, though obvious, is if the Blessed Sacrament is exposed on the altar for adoration. This can be recognized from the metal vessel in the middle of the altar that has a sun-burst pattern around its epicenter where resides the host. Lit candles on the altar always accompany such Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
How is Christ present in the church?
The real presence of Jesus Christ in a Catholic Church is localized to the tabernacle, where hosts, consecrated at Mass, are held in repose. You can tell a tabernacle has the Body of Christ within if it's veil is drawn, though in many modern churches no veil is used and one must assume that Christ is within by the presence of a sanctuary lamp near the tabernacle, which properly represents the faithful always before God in the tabernacle. In traditional churches, the tabernacle is on the altar and so is very easy to locate. In modern churches, the tabernacle is often to the side, sometimes even in the back of a Church. In major churches, such as basilicas and cathedrals, there is usually a small Blessed Sacrament chapel where the Sacred Hosts are reposed, and it is usually found to the right side of the church or behind the main sanctuary.

What are the furnishings of a Catholic Church?
This is a rather involved, complicated question. As a Catholic Church could conceivably be anything from a Carthusian chapel to St. Peter's Basilica. The primary difference between a private chapel for a religious order and a public church would be the presence of a baptismal fount. Every Catholic Church should have an altar, and if it is a public place and is licensed by the local Bishop, it will have the Blessed Sacrament reserved, so that would necessitate a tabernacle and a sanctuary candle burning there. The altar should have at least two candles, and appropriate cloths to cover the top. There should be a lectern (ambo), a celebrant's chair, and an altar rail is now optional. The sanctuary must also include a Crucifix, required if Mass is celebrated there. There may be other things like a stand for incense, a credence table, etc. The nave - that is the portion outside the sanctuary where the people would be, may include pews or chairs, with kneelers. There must be Stations of the Cross appropriated blessed, there should be a confessional, a baptismal font (if it is a Church and not a chapel), holy water fonts, etc. I think that should cover the bare minimum.
