CCC 2628

Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us⁹⁹ Cf. Ps 95:1-6. and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the "King of Glory,"¹⁰⁰ Ps 24, 9-10. respectful silence in the presence of the "ever greater" God.¹⁰¹ Cf. St. Augustine, En. in Ps. 62,16: PL 36, 757-758PL — Patrologia Latina (Migne). Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications.
