We have a language barrier that has been in place since the Reformation. Good luck, and it’s sad. The means are different, but the object we all have is the same: the Trinity and Salvation.

Venerate - to honour in recognition of qualities of holiness, excellence, wisdom, etc.- from Latin venerārī, from venus love]
Synonyms - adore, deify, glorify, revere, reverence, worship
