AC 1153 - Humiliation and Adoration

AC 1153 [2]

. . . all true worship consists in adoration of the Lord,
adoration of the Lord in humiliation,
and humiliation in one's acknowledgment
that in himself there is nothing living, and nothing good,
but that all within him is dead, indeed, cadaverous;
and in the acknowledgment
that everything living and everything good
is from the Lord.
The more a person acknowledges these things,
not with the mouth,
but with the heart,
the more he is in humiliation;
and consequently the more he is in adoration,
that is, in true worship,
and the more he is in love and charity,
and the more in happiness.
The one is in the other,
so conjoined as to be inseparable.
