Your post #15 gives what appears are questions and answers from the Catholic Catechism. I liked the question numbered 1216:

Q. 1216. Why do we pray before the crucifix and the images and relics of the saints? A. We pray before the crucifix and the images and relics of the saints because they enliven our devotion by exciting pious affections and desires, and by reminding us of Christ and of the saints, that we may imitate their virtues.
