Persevero
To state that someone is blessed is hardly venerating him or her
True. Veneration takes these forms:
Veneration of Holy Relics (Acts 19:12, and
The Martyrdom of Polycarp
as the earlier evidence of the practice)
Intercessory prayer (Romans 15:30, 2 Corinthians 13:7-9, Acts 8:24, John 2:1-11, 1 Timothy 2:1-6, James 5:16, Matthew 18:20)
Honoring (Luke 11:27-28, here discussed)
Recognition of superior faculty of a saint in heaven (John 10:10, Matthew 22:30, 1 Corinthians 6:3, 1 Corinthians 13:12)
