Show 160: THE VENERATION OF IMAGES OF THE SAINTS

In this episode we discuss the veneration of Images, a practice begun by the Holy Apostles.By sacred pictures or statues are meant representations of Christ, of the saints, or of the truths of religion. Pictures or statues of saints, by means of which or before which miracles have been worked, are called miraculous images. Above all representations of the saints or of holy things, we venerate the cross of Our Redeemer.

1. We honor the images of the saints by giving them a place in our dwellings ; we say our prayers before them, we salute them respectfully, we adorn them with offerings, we make pilgrimages to their shrines.
2. Through venerating the images of the saints, efficacious and oftentimes supernatural graces are obtained; they are also useful as a means of avoiding distractions in prayer, and affording us a silent admonition.
