Saints are a reminder of God’s goodness.

Father Mike Schmitz, chaplain for Newman Catholic Campus Ministry at the University of Minnesota Duluth, discusses the Catholic church’s view of saints.

“Fr. Mike Schmitz wants to straighten out some confusion regarding Catholics’ veneration of saints,” the video’s description notes. “In this video he explains how — far from being icons to worship — statues and paintings of the saints are reminders of what God can do in someone’s life … Honoring the saints doesn’t take away from the glory we give God. It actually brings Him greater glory.”
