I worship God, the great I AM.
Worship is comprised by my complete subjugation by Him.
Prayer is made to Him, or to others that they may also pray to Him for me.
Sacrifce was done long ago, but we imitate that sacrifice, at the command of Him.
Incense is used as a reminder of prayer raising to Heaven. It is only a reminder.
This is the Roman Catholic faith. Its actions, words, and ceremonies are well known.

I am going to have to quote here, because it's explained well in this paragraph:

Jains salute the virtues of the Pancha Parmeshti, or five benevolents: The Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and normal monks. They do not pray to a specific Tirthankar or monk by name. By saluting them, Jains believe they receive the inspiration from the five benevolent for the right path of true happiness and total freedom from the misery of life. Jain prayers do not ask for any favors or material benefits from the Tirthankaras or from sadhus and sadhvis. These prayers simply serve as a gesture of deep respect towards beings they believe are more spiritually advanced and to remind followers of the Jain religion of their ultimate goal of nirvana or moksha.'

I burn incense and use meditation. The words I use I cannot say, I apologise, because I believe they are only for me to know, and offer me the better insight into spiritual awareness.
I don't use any ceremony, short of celebrating the Sabbats, and really only give thanks to the Goddess rather than worship her. Still, different definitions of the same key value.

Yesterday, I was in my boat stranded on a sand bar, 500 yards of angle deep water in both directions. The wind was blowing, I could not pull or push the boat, I would lift up on the boat and the wind and the waves would move it maybe 4 inches at a time. I kept talking to god, and he gave me more wind and more waves and one hour and forty-five minutes later I was free and back in time to pick up daughter from school. Thank you Jesus, for dying for my sins, and thank the lord for those small little waves. Amen.

I ignore the dogmatic controlling impulses of other religious zealots and maniacs and I do my best to be a healthy, useful and productive part of the world.

Jesus told us to listen to them and to observe all that they command.
