Hi, guys —
- What is the difference between Eucharistic Adoration and Eucharistic Benediction?
- Also, when is the Litany of the Holy Eucharist prayed?

Edmund,
- Eucharistic Adoration is any type of adoration (worship) of the Eucharist outside of Mass, whether inside a tabernacle or in a monstrance.
- Eucharistic Benediction is a rite that involves Eucharistic Adoration, in a monstrance specifically, but also includes a blessing with the Eucharist and prayers, as well as a litany (which I think is what you mean by "the Litany of the Holy Eucharist".)
