For He said unto them, Whosoever receiveth you receiveth Me, and whosoever receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me (Mt. 10:40). For He purposely makes His own, and takes unto Himself, the honors paid to the saints... For what is there better, or what is comparable unto the honor and love due to God? But this is rendered by giving honor to the saints.
(Commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke, p. 211)
