I. Blessing and Adoration

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

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
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 respectful
silence in the presence of the “ever greater” God.¹⁰¹
Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and
gives assurance to our supplications.
