from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 199460 The people descended from Abraham would be the trustees of the promise made to the patriarchs, the chose people, called to prepare for that day when God would gather all his children into the unity of the Church. (Cf. Rom 11:28; Jn 11:52; 10:16.) They would be the root onto which the Gentiles would be grafted, once they came to believe. (Cf. Rom 11:17-18, 24)
61 The patriarchs, prophets, and certain other Old Testament figures have been and always will be honored as saints in all the Church's liturgical traditions.
755 "The Church is a cultivated field, the tillage of God. On that land the ancient olive tree grows whose holy roots were the prophets and in which the reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles has been brought about and will be brought about again. That land, like a choice vineyard, has been planted by the heavenly cultivator. Yet the true vine is Christ who gives life and fruitfulness to the branches, that is, to us, who through the Church remain in Christ, without whom we can do nothing. (Lumen Gentium 6; cf. 1 Cor 3:9; Rom 11:13-26; Mt21:33-43 and parallels; Isa 5:1-7; Jn 15:5.)
