The Path to Sainthood

The process of canonization in the Catholic Church is a rigorous and thorough examination of a person's life and virtues. It typically involves several stages:

1. Servant of God: The initial stage when a person's life is examined for heroic virtue.
2. Venerable: The person is recognized for having lived a life of heroic virtue.
3. Blessed: A miracle attributed to the person's intercession is verified.
4. Saint: A second miracle is verified, leading to canonization.

This process ensures that those recognized as saints truly embody the virtues of Christian life and serve as models for the faithful.
