QUESTION?
What is Adoration?
ANSWER!
"The Latin word for adoration is ‘ad-oratio’ – mouth to mouth contact, a kiss, an embrace, and hence ultimately love." HOMILY OF POPE BENEDICT XVI, Cologne – Marienfeld, Sunday, 21 August 2005. Apostolic journey to Cologne on the occasion of the XX World Youth Day Eucharistic Celebration.
In other words, Adoration is where God gives us mouth to mouth resuscitation, just like he breathed the breathe of life into Adam in Genesis 2:7.
