Daillé: honor of the saints consists in praise and imitation
Daillé then holds that the honor we rightly give to the angels and to the saints received into heaven is, by the judgment of both the inspired and the church writers, entirely contained in two things: in good report and in imitation, that is, praise and imitation.
The first means thinking and speaking well and highly of them as outstanding servants of God. The second means imitating faithfully and earnestly their way of life and the obedience they gave to their Lord and God, who is ours as well. (On the Object of Religious Worship, book 3, chapter 1.)

XLIII. Postea vero honorem, quem & Angelis & Sanctis caelo receptis nobis deferri par est, & divinorum & Ecclesiasticorum auctorum sententia, his duobus totum contineri censet, τῇ εὐφημίᾳ καὶ τῇ μιμήσει, laude & imitatione. Quorum illud prius in eo situm est, ut bene praeclareque de iis, veluti de eximiis Dei ministris, sentiamus ac loquamur: alterum vero hoc constat, ut eorum mores, & quod communi Domino ac Deo praestiterunt obsequium, fideliter ac studiose imitemur.
