957 Communion with the saints. “It is not merely by the title of example that we cherish the memory of those in heaven; we seek, rather, that by this devotion to the exercise of fraternal charity the union of the whole Church in the Spirit may be strengthened. Exactly as Christian communion among our fellow pilgrims brings us closer to Christ, so our communion with the saints joins us to Christ, from whom as from its fountain and head issues all grace, and the life of the People of God itself”:
We worship Christ as God’s Son; we love the martyrs as the Lord’s disciples and imitators, and rightly so because of their matchless devotion towards their king and master. May we also be their companions and fellow disciples!

Thank you for providing us with these readings. I am always meaning to read my CCC book, but I never do, so thank you for giving us a bit to read everyday.
Thank you so much for sharing. It makes it very easy for me to read & share the daily readings. I am also enlightened about the Saints, which brings back memories of my youth and my Aunt educating us with her knowledge of the Catechism.
