Adore and Venerate God - Wednesday Worship


It’s Wednesday today and time to worship the Lord!


Worship is to reverently honor and give homage to God.

It is an adoring reverence that dedicate to God.

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you.

And we should be careful what we do with the best we have.

Whenever we get a blessing from God, we should give it back to Him as a love-gift.


Adore and venerate God


Take time to meditate and pray before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship.

Worship is both adoration and veneration of God.

According to St. Thomas Aquinas adoration, which is known as latria in classical theology, is the worship and homage that is rightly offered to God alone.

It is the manifestation of submission, and acknowledgement of dependence, appropriately shown towards the excellence of an uncreated divine person and to his absolute Lordship.

It is the worship of the Creator that God alone deserves.

Veneration is to honor and reverence appropriately due to the excellence.

Venerate the excellence of God and adore Him alone!
