What exactly do you consider worship?

I pray to Jesus Christ and worship him only. I also pray to the Blessed Mother and ask her to intercept through her son for me.
We as Catholics do not worship The Blessed Mother, but venerate her.

How do I worship...let me see?
I do it through my work sometimes.
I'm a Carpenter and I try to do good work because my work affects other's lives. If I don't do the right thing while working, the results could be someone's kids getting hurt.
Other ways I worship? Prayer to God. Mass. Holy Communion. Repentance and Confession. Serving my fellow man when I have to opportunity to.

Used to be a worship leader. One of the things I realized is that our very life is lived in worship to Him. Or should be.
But, being baptized in Holy Spirit, God has given me a language...and I worship Him for who He is, what He has done for us through His Son, and for giving us eternal life. He, all 3....are precious!

Though given that mother angelica has spoken in tongues I'm open to the possibility but still concerned of the source of the talking in tongues.  |

We talked about demons? My memory must be worse than I thought.
Mat 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Mat 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Mat 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
By the way, charasmatics are in the catholic church too.

My church just started a study on Genesis, and the first mention of "worship" is when Abraham is about to sacrifice Isaac. Thus, trusting and obeying God is worship  |

The Sacraments. The Liturgy. The Mass. The Eucharist. Eucharistic adoration. Gregorian chant and Latin prayers. Praise and worship and give praise to God when I see a pretty female. |

I also follow the way of worshipping of the early Church,
"And we afterwards continually remind each other of these things. And the wealthy among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost.
And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these good things.
Then we all rise together and pray, and, as we before said, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people assent, saying Amen; and there is a distribution to each, and a participation of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the deacons.
And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.
But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His apostles and disciples, He taught them these things, which we have submitted to you also for your consideration." - St. Justin Martyr (150 AD)
So like in the early Church, I go to Mass every Sunday, but since in the Lord's Prayer we pray for our daily bread, I go to the daily breaking of the bread: daily Mass.

when i think worship, i think of the singing, prayer, communion..etc. It leads me back to my days or 'worship' services where we sang hymns and worship songs and raised our hands and prayed and prayed for each other and gave testimonies..etc..

To me worship usually signifies attending Church, partaking of the sacrament (communion), attending the temple, repenting, having faith, praying, studying scripture. By living my life in accordance with the commandments of God, obeying Him and striving each day to do what is right.

It's the most important and sacred part of our main Sunday service. We use bread and water to represent the body and blood of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Each is blessed by the priesthood and then passed to the congregation by the priesthood. The prayers used to bless the emblems are the same each time, and remind us of the covenants we made at our baptism. It is done very reverently and in the time that it takes, one has the opportunity to reflect on Jesus Christ and His sacrifice and atonement for us. We do this almost every Sunday, the exceptions being the 4 times a year we meet in large conferences. |

We just refer to it as the Sacrament. The meeting in which we partake of it is called Sacrament Meeting, which shows the importance placed on it.

We call it The Thanksgiving Meal as it is referenced in The Bible (The Passover Meal) and in The Didache (the first Christian Document of the Teachings of The 12 Apostles). The word "eucharist" literally means that..."thanksgiving". |

Interesting, thanks for the info. You're welcome. Your reverance of The Sacrament is so close to our reverance for The Sacrament. |
