FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

To adore God

is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission,

the "nothingness of the creature" who would not exist but for God.

.

To adore God

is to praise and exalt Him and to humble oneself,

as Mary did in the Magnificat,

confessing with gratitude that He has done great things

and Holy is His Name.

.

The worship of the one God sets man free from turning in on himself,

from the slavery of sin and the idolatry of the world.

.

[CCC 2097]
