The honor paid to the Saints as servants of God does not detract from the glory of their Master, Our Lord Jesus Christ. As the Members of Christ, the Saints are but the consequence and development of that which is due to Christ their Head. The Church owes it to her Spouse, Jesus, to make a protest against the narrow view of those who would deny the honor due the saints. These protests would lessen the glory of the Incarnation, because denying the Saints denies the grandest consequences of the Incarnation.
- paraphrased from The Liturgical Year by Abbot Dom Gueranger
