The answer
The believers who make up the Church are called by the Apostle Paul “to be saints” (Rom. 1:7; 1 Cor. 1:2, 24). They are saints because God calls them and thus, they are special among all their fellows. When they receive the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, they become consecrated to God. The Commemoration of Saints always includes priests who labored for the edification of the body of Christ and served the holy mysteries, so that the believers may be sanctified. It also includes sinful preachers who used God's Word to attract new members to the Church. Although the scribes and pharisees were corrupt, the Lord did not take away their honor from them but gave them authority despite their wickedness, because they themselves do not do what they teach others (Matt. 23:3).
