Humeral Veil?

[freddo]

Is it necessary to wear a humeral veil at the end of an Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament when the priest raises the monstrance? I’ve always seen it done that way and just assumed it was supposed to be worn, but last time I went the priest just wore an alb with a white stole. Just curious.

The shorter is the humeral veil and the longer the cope. For a priest, at the end of Benediction when the sign of the cross is made with the ciborium, the cope is not required, but when the monstrance is used, it is. With either the humeral veil is called for. (Per the Davenport document quoted below.)

Benediction
The minister approaches the altar, genuflects, and then kneels. While a eucharistic hymn is sung (for example, Tantum ergo), the minister, still kneeling, incenses the Blessed Sacrament. Then he stands and, while facing the Blessed Sacrament, prays the closing prayer. After the prayer, he puts on the humeral veil, approaches the altar, and genuflects. Then, in silence, he makes the sign of the cross over the people with the monstrance or ciborium. The Blessed Sacrament is then reposed (the minister opens the door, places the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle, genuflects, and closes the door) during which the people may sing an acclamation (for example, the Divine Praises). If Benediction is omitted, the concluding rite includes the prayer and reposition alone.
