II. “Him Only Shall You Serve”
2097
To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission, the
“nothingness of the creature” who would not exist but for God. To
adore God is to praise and exalt him and to humble oneself, as Mary did in the
Magnificat, confessing with gratitude that he has done great things and holy is
his name.14 The worship of the one God sets man free from turning in on
himself, from the slavery of sin and the idolatry of the world.
