Adoration - LoveToKnow 1911 Thus the Greek and Roman emperors were adored by bowing or kneeling, laying hold of the imperial robe, and presently withdrawing the hand and pressing it to the lips, or by putting the royal robe itself to the lips. The Persian method, introduced by Cyrus, was to bend the knee and fall on the face at the prince's feet, striking the earth with the forehead and kissing the ground. Adoration is applied in the Roman Church to the ceremony of kissing the pope's foot, a custom which is said to have been introduced by the popes following the example of the emperor Diocletian. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Adoration   (380 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Perpetual Adoration The Perpetual Adoration was founded at Lyons, in 1667, in the Church of the Hôtel-Dieu. The Nocturnal Adoration, at Rome, founded in 1851, and erected into an archconfraternity in 1858, practically completes the chain of associations that render perpetual, in a strict sense, the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. In 1868 the privilege of Perpetual Adoration was granted by Pope Pius IX to the Sisters of the Second Order of St. Dominic in the monastery of Quellins, near Lyons, France. www.newadvent.org /cathen/01152a.htm   (1762 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Adoration Adoration differs from other acts of worship, such as supplication, confession of sin, etc., inasmuch as it formally consists in self-abasement before the Infinite, and in devout recognition of His transcendent excellence. An admirable example of adoration is given in the Apocalypse vii 11, 12: "And all the angels stood rouud about the throne, and about the ancients, and about the living creatures; and they fell before the throne upon their faces, and adored God, saying: Amen. Concerning the verbal manifestation of adoration -- that is, the prayer of praise - explanation is not necessary. www.newadvent.org /cathen/01151a.htm   (1381 words)

The Holiness of God and Adoration Adoration is a creature’s confession of the truth of God’s utter sovereignty and dignity. Adoration is primarily an interior act of the mind and will: "the mind perceiving that God’s perfection is infinite, the will bidding us to extol and worship this perfection." But human nature demands that the interior act be expressed outwardly. These are thoughts which, outside of adoration, we would not have any hesitation to entertain, but within the proper context of adoration their inanity, and their frivolousness is unmasked. www.opusangelorum.org /Formation/Adoration.html   (5959 words)

Adoration To rise up and suddenly prostrate the body was the most simple method; but, generally speaking, the prostration was conducted in a more formal manner, the person falling upon the knee and then gradually inclining the body until the forehead touched the ground. Such prostration was usual in the worship of Jehovah, (Genesis 17:3; Psalms 95:6) it was the formal mode of receiving visitors, (Genesis 18:2) of doing obeisance to one of superior station, (2 Samuel 14:4) and of showing respect to equals. (Psalms 72:9; Micah 7:17) Similar adoration was paid to idols, (1 Kings 19:18) sometimes, however, the act consisted simply in kissing the hand to the object of reverence, (Job 31:27) and in kissing the statue itself. dictionary.crossmap.com /definition/adoration.htm   (181 words)

[No title] Some writers trace the first beginnings of perpetual adoration to the late fourth century, when converts to the faith in some dioceses were to adore the Blessed Sacrament exposed for eight days after their baptism. Thus began the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and of the Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. The adoration of Jesus, our God; thanksgiving, reparation for our sins and for those of all men, the prayer for so many intentions entrusted to Him, combine to raise that priest to a greater love for the Divine Master to whom he has promised faithfulness and for men who depend on his priestly ministry. www.ewtn.com /library/HOMELIBR/HISTOREA.TXT   (9377 words)

Jesusfreakhideout.com: Newsboys, "Adoration: The Worship Album" Review Adoration: The Worship Album is the Australian-bred quintet's first offering of a collection of songs written and performed for the sole purpose of moving the heart of God. Adoration winds down with two more original highlights, first with the unique "Father, Blessed Father." "Father" begins with a melancholic and quirky guitar riff that gives way to a pop worship tune that builds to a climax that successfully incorporates a Gospel choir. In the same vein as "Father," "Hallelujah" (not to be confused with the track by the same name from 1998's Step Up To the Microphone) offers a quirky intro and tasty yet subtle drum loop that only introduces a more traditional of a worship song (complete with a backup choir). www.jesusfreakhideout.com /cdreviews/Adoration.asp   (594 words)

Adoration: The Worship Album - Newsboys The problem with Adoration is the overall album, which might best be viewed as the Newsboys' answer to the success of Third Day's Offerings projects. Also featured on Adoration are two live cuts, which feel out of place stuck in the middle of the album — the rock anthem "Lord (I Don't Know)" and, naturally, "It Is You." Both are beefed up with backup gospel singers, yet lack the energy of the originals found on Thrive. There's not nearly enough on Adoration to get excited or inspired about — compared to past Newsboys albums or other contemporary worship albums — which is exactly the opposite of what you'd expect from a worship album created with excellence. www.christianitytoday.com /music/reviews/2003/adoration.html   (951 words)
