Hello ladies and gentleman. Today I am going to reflect on the ways to achieve sainthood. This is a confusing topic in the church and I wanted to find out more.
1. A bishop is placed in charge of doing an investigation into the person’s life that is on the rode to sainthood. If the bishop approves this candidate and says he is worthy enough to continue then we go to the next step. The title “Servant of God” is given.
2. Second, the candidate must have heroic virtues that took place during his lifetime. Then his application is presented to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome. After, the term “Venerable” is given.
3. Third, a miracle must be performed through the candidate’s intercession. If approved, the term “Blessed” is given to the candidate.
4. The candidate is then declared a saint after a second miracle and the Pope’s approval.
