Benediction is one the forms of prayer that were abandoned when evening Masses were introduced. Our family used to attend Mass on Sunday morning, then turn out again in the evening for Rosary, Holy Hour and Benediction. It led to me constantly questioning my parents (on the way home) about the monstrance, the long period of silence, the cope and other details. On Sunday mornings we hurried home, so mother could cook the dinner. On summer evenings we ambled slowly home, parents chatting, the children forming their first Catholic friendships with their little peers. That was one benefit of the forties virtually car-less society! My mother once mentioned she missed her evening walk home from church with her pals, that was how she got to know them, when she had moved a long way from her roots. Those friendships lasted half a century, until death. |
  Catholic and proud of it! Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards | |

, that can only be administered by an Ordained Person. I am unclear from your posts Fortunatus who is conducting the Benediction you instituted.
