The amazing thing about all of this is that I can just stare at her almost all day without a hint of boredom. I can just sit down and adore her all day.
Before you get surprised as to why I am talking about a girl's beauty as seen by the adorer's eye, picture yourself, just staring at something which you find beautiful; may it be the sunset over the hills, your puppy who's just sleeping in his bed, or the car to which you just bought after years of working for it. The act of staring into something in which you love brings a certain happiness to the heart and a calmness to the mind, knowing that such a beauty exists. This is what adoration is, to affectionately admire something or someone.
Now what about adoring the one whom first loved us? The one who loved us so much that He gave his only son (cf John 3:16) and the one whom was willingly prepared to die for us so that we might be saved. Thus the Church around the 13th century (source) allowed us to just sit and admire the beauty of God through what we call the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the "King of Glory," respectful silence in the presence of the "ever greater" God. Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications. —Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2628
Personally, the Adoration is my favourite devotion; the adoration is in fact a different devotion together as compared to others. All other devotions leads us to God through their own formula while the adoration itself is Jesus physically sitting upon his throne in front of you. It's hard for many to sometimes understand the beauty of adoration, the silence of the entire Church or place staring at the host in the monstrance can mislead the mind to wander off at times, or bring a certain kind of boredom to some; but would you be bored staring at the person you love most? Similarly to staring at God, we admire the creator, and the unique difference of adoring Christ is that when you speak to him through your thoughts, he listens. He knows your inmost thoughts and desires (cf. Psalm 139: 1 -2) and that is the trust that you can have whilst adoring him you can also speak to him.
Similarly as how I can admire the beauty of the person I love and cherish, I too can admire the greatness of the person I owe my being to. As adoring the person I cherish sometimes is not the same the other way round because of the freedom that he or she has, but adoring Him, is a sure thing that he will love you forever (cf Jeremiah 31:3).
If you're Catholic and reading this, I encourage you to go for Adorations, even when he isn't exposed, go and spend time with Him in the Blessed Sacrament; there's nothing more beautiful than being in the presence of the one who loves us and whom we love.
