Father Mike Schmitz wants to address some confusion regarding Catholics’ veneration of saints. In this video, he explains how—far from idolatry or paganism —statues, paintings, and icons of the saints are reminders of what God can do in someone’s life.

Therefore, honoring the saints doesn’t take away from the glory we give God. It actually brings him greater glory.
