Our Church honors saints not as gods, but as faithful servants, as holy men
and friends of God. It extols the struggles they engaged in and the deeds they
performed for the glory of God with the action of His grace, in such a way that
all the honor that the Church gives them refers to the Supreme Being, Who has
viewed their life on earth with gratification. The Church honors them by
commemorating them annually through public celebrations and through the
erection of Churches in honor of their name.
The holy men of God, who were magnified on earth by the Lord, have been
honored by God's holy Church from the very time it was founded by the Savior
Christ.
