[10] You are observing days, months, seasons, and years. [11] I am afraid on your account that perhaps I have labored for you in vain.
(CCC 1729 The beatitude of heaven sets the standards for discernment in the use of earthly goods in keeping with the law of God. (CCC 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 (cf. Lk 1:46-49). 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.
