“It is appropriate to remember the different meanings of ‘adoration’ in the Greek and Latin languages. The Greek wordproskýnesis means the act of submission, the recognition of God as our true measure and by whose law we agree to abide. “The Latin word adortio, on the otherhand, denotes the physical contact – the kiss, the embrace – which is implicit in the idea of love. The aspect of submission foresees a relationship of union because the one to whom we submit is Love. Indeed, in the Eucharist, worship must become union with the living Lord and then with His Mystical body.”
Pope Benedict XVI, May 22, 2008
