“Statues of Saints are important; they remind us we must strive for Sainthood. They also show us that people just like us became Saints, people just like us walked before us with problems similar to ours, with dedication, commitment and love, giving their lives a Goal.
Statues of The Saints give man stability, in that the presence of these statues are great aids for man to avoid distraction while praying. They do not replace the dignity of prayer, but help man to concentrate. Man does not pray to the statue, but uses the statue for a more devout prayer.”
