Today’s video offers a quick and clear explanation of the Church’s official process which leads up to the moment of canonization. The Catechism (828) explains:
Finally, let us remember that the canonization process isn’t designed for us to simply cheer from the stands, rather to discover in their example inspiration and courage to become we ourselves saints.
How Does The Catholic Church Declare A Saint?
“To abide in God and in his love, and thus to proclaim by our words and our lives the resurrection of Jesus, to live in unity with one another and with charity towards all. This is what the [the saints] did. Their luminous example challenges us in our lives as Christians. How do I bear witness to the risen Christ? This is a question we have to ask ourselves. How do I abide in him? How do I dwell in his love? Am I capable of “sowing” in my family, in my workplace and in my community, the seed of that unity which he has bestowed on us by giving us a share in the life of the Trinity?
When we return home today, let us take with us the joy of this encounter with the risen Lord. Let us cultivate in our hearts the commitment to abide in God’s love. Let us remain united to him and among ourselves, and follow in the footsteps of these four women, models of sanctity whom the Church invites us to imitate”. Pope Francis.
