Thanks. Btw, must there be adoration before benediction? Because as far as I know, I often see adoration & benediction or just adoration only.adoration - acknowledging God, and prayers designed to do such

You can not see adoration, you can see people who appear to be praying to God. Whether they are praying or what they are praying is some what unknow. You can see and hear benedication. Mass is a combination of both. Benediction implies adoration is present “May God Bless you” is Benedication (Blessing) and implies adoration because it is God you are askingThanks.

Clearly the OP seems to be referring here to Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
In other words the Eucharistic bread, in which we believe Christ is really and substantially present, is exposed (displayed) for veneration by the faithful.
In such situations a specific rite often takes place called ‘benediction’ (in which the priest takes the Eucharist in its container, called a Monstrance, and blesses those present with it).
The two are not synonymous and don’t have to happen together, although the rite of Benediction often is used as a fitting end to a period of exposing the Sacrament for Adoration.
