It is grounded in Sacred Scripture and transmitted through Sacred Tradition, forming part of the coherent unity of Christian teaching. Ultimately, it contributes to the sanctification of the faithful and the building up of the Mystical Body of Christ. In catechetical instruction, veneration in sacred scripture serves not merely as an abstract principle but as a lived reality shaping sacramental life, moral formation, and prayer. Veneration in Sacred Scripture designates a defined doctrinal reality within the Catholic faith that arises from divine revelation and is authoritatively interpreted by the Church’s Magisterium. Properly understood, it is ordered toward communion with the Most Holy Trinity and participation in the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ.
