Relics include the physical remains of a saint (or of a person who is considered holy but not yet officially canonized) as well as other objects, which have been "sanctified" by being touched to the saint’s body.

We all treasure things that have belonged to someone we love — a piece of clothing, another personal item, a lock of hair. These "relics" remind us of the love we share with that person while he was still living and even after death. Our hearts are torn when we think about disposing of the personal things of a deceased loved one.

In all, relics remind us of the holiness of a saint and his cooperation in God's work; at the same time, relics inspire us to ask for the prayers of that saint and to beg the grace of God to live the same kind a faith-filled life.
