After all the people had been baptized and Jesus also had
been baptized and was praying, heaven was opened and the
Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove.
And a voice came from heaven,
"You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
Luke 3:21-22

“Popular Devotional Practices: Basic Questions and
Answers,”
“The following is excerpted from the article, “Popular
Devotional Practices: Basic Questions and Answers,”
published by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops,
(03 Copyright © by United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops) and a continuation from last week.
The full text can
be found at www.usccb.org/bishops/devprac.htm
6. What is the role of the saints in the life of the
Church?
Many popular devotional practices involve veneration of the
saints. The saints have a special place in the Body of Christ,
which includes both the living and the dead. Through Christ we
on earth remain in communion both with the saints in heaven
and with the dead who are still in Purgatory. We can pray for
those in Purgatory and ask the saints to pray for us. Through
their prayers of intercession, the saints in heaven play an
integral role in the life of the Church on earth. "For
after they have been received into their heavenly home and are
present to the Lord, they do not cease to intercede with the
Father for us, showing forth the merits which they won on
earth through the one Mediator between God and man." The
saints, the members of the Church who have arrived at perfect
union with Christ, join their wills to the will of God in
praying for those in the Church who are still on their
pilgrimage of faith.
Besides what the saints can do for us by their prayers, the
very practice of venerating the saints does great good for
those who are devoted to the saints. By practicing love of the
saints we strengthen the unity of the entire Body of Christ in
the Spirit. This in turn brings us all closer to Christ. Our
companionship with the saints joins us to Christ, from Whom as
from its Fountain and Head issues every grace and the very
life of the people of God." Love of the saints
necessarily includes and leads to love of Christ and to love
of the Holy Trinity. "For every genuine testimony of love
shown by us to those in heaven, by its very nature tends
toward and ends in Christ who is the 'crown of all saints,'
and through Him, in God Who is wonderful in his saints and is
magnified in them."
