No human is worthy. None is worthy of our exaltation. We do love humans, and do adore however, not in the same way. A human being is not our life. Christ Jesus is our life. I've seen Marian prayers saying Mary is "our life." To me, that is blasphemy.

Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra

Yep, Blasphemy - or Love. Fortunately, when I first heard it sung I really could "feel the love." There was never any question in my mind that these monks love her and do NOT worship her.

Do you mean to say the same thing twice here, or do you mean some humans are worthy, but not of our exaltation?

We do love humans, and do adore however, not in the same way.

In what different way do you adore humans vs. God in this context? If you could describe...

thanks..
