Why do Catholics honor saints?

                              Why Do Catholics Do That?

                               Christians are members of a large family.  From the early days of the Church, there have been members of the faithful who have strived to live in the kingdom of God here on Earth and see its fulfillment in Heaven.
                               These holy people have allowed themselves to be emptied out and to be filled with the love and grace of Christ.
                               The Church holds up these brothers and sisters of ours as examples to help us follow in their paths.
