Adoration

ADoration of the child Jesus. "The Soul spontaneously tends toward ADoration, for it remembers Heaven".^[1]

ADoration is the Worship specifically rendered to God, and to God alone. To adore someone or something other than God is to engage in idolatry.

In "The Gospel as it was revealed to me"

ADoration of the shepherds of the Nativity: "We are poor and ignorant, but we know that the Prophets say that the Savior will be the Prince of Peace. And to us he (the angel) has said to go adore him. Thus he gave us his Peace. Glory to God in the highest Heavens and glory to the one who is his Christ! And you, be blessed, Woman who bore him! You are Holy since you have deserved to carry him!"

"How to return to the park leaving this Little One?" - "Glory to God who showed him to us!" - "Make us Kiss his garment," said Levi with an angelic smile.

Mary gently lifts Jesus and, sitting on the hay, presents to the Kissers his tiny feet, wrapped in a cloth. Those with beards first wipe them. Almost all weep and when they have to leave, they back out, leaving their Heart near the manger...^[2]

ADoration of baby Jesus by Zacharias: Zacharias rises respectfully and bows with veneration. Then he approaches and looks at Jesus with the marks of the greatest respect. He is bent, not so much to see Him better, but to pay Him homage. Mary presents Him to him and Zacharias takes Him with such marks of ADoration that he seems to be carrying a monstrance. It is truly the Host he carries in his arms, the Host already offered and whose sacrifice will be consummated when it is given to men as food of love and redemption.^[3]

The Soul spontaneously tends toward ADoration, for it remembers Heaven.^[5]
(Mary): "The mantWater that I have is yours that I have shortened and re-dyed. For me, it still goes Well, but for You, it no longer went. You are Jesus..." To say what is in this sentence is impossible. "You are Jesus." A simple sentence, but all the love of the Mother, of the disciple, of the ancient Israelite for the Promised Messiah and of the blessed Israelite of her time who possesses Jesus, is found in these few words. If the Mother had prostrated herself in aDoring her Son as God, it was still just a limited form in its respectful manifestation. But in these words, there is more than an ADoration of the kneeling knees, the bent back, the forehead touching the ground: there is the whole being of Mary, her flesh, her blood, her Soul, her Heart, her spirit, her love that adores totally and perfectly the God-Man.

I have never seen anything greater, more absolute, than these ADorations of Mary for the Word of God who is her Son, but whom she always recalls is God.^[6]

Catechesis of June 19, 1943: Mary was the perfect eucharistic Soul. She knew how to retain her God through an ardent love, a superangelic purity, a continuous ADoration. How could I separate from this Heart that lived from me? I remained even after the consumption of the species.^[7]
