  • Visit to the Blessed Sacrament is a devotional practice of visiting a church and praying in front of the Eucharist, where Catholics believe Jesus Christ is sacramentally present. Although usually associated with Roman Catholics, this devotion also occurs amongst Anglicans, usually high-church. According to John Paul II, "The visit to the Blessed Sacrament is a great treasure of the Catholic faith. " It is "the fountainhead of all devotional works," said St. Pius X. In 1965, Pope Paul VI issued the Encyclical Mysterium Fidei whereby he urged daily mass and communion and said that "In the course of the day the faithful should not omit to visit the Blessed Sacrament. " To emphasize the importance of this practice, a Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus Liguori, wrote a book on Visits to the Blessed Sacrament and he explained that a visit to the Blessed Sacrament is the "practice of loving Jesus Christ", since friends who love each other visit regularly.
