It hasn’t been separated
12 May 2023Venerate the icons of the saints because they were crucified with the Lord. Make the sign of the cross and recall their share in Christ’s sufferings. Venerate also their holy bodies and any relics of their bones, because the grace of God hasn’t been separated from them, just as divinity didn’t depart from the body of Christ at the time of his life-giving death.
