scripture

You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created and have their being.

Revelation 4.11

reflection

“There can be no complete prayer life that does not return to the point from which we began– the prayer that is a response to the outpouring love and concern with which God lays siege to every soul. When that reply to God is most direct of all, it is called adoration. Adoration is ‘loving back.’ For in the prayer of adoration we love God for himself, for his very being, for his radiant joy…. In adoration we enjoy God. We ask nothing except to be near Him. We want nothing except that we would like to give Him all. Out of this kind of prayer comes the cry ‘Holy! Holy! Holy!’ In the school of adoration the soul learns why the approach to every other goal had left it restless.”
