What Everyone is Called to Be. SAINTS What Everyone is Called to Be.

This will be posted on Edlio today.

A “saint” is someone who is recognized by the Church as one who had an extremely close relationship with God and who tried to live according to God’s Will for her/his life. Saints are people through whom we come to a better understanding of: 1. what God is like, and 2. the kind of lives we should/could be living today.

Pope John Paul II canonized 482 Saints between 1982-2004. He canonized more saints in 22 years than all of the Popes in the previous 500 years combined. Why??

By doing this, Pope John Paul II showed that he believed strongly in the presence of holiness in our world TODAY – not just in the past.

Who is Called to be a Saint? Every single person.

How Does a Saint Become a Saint?

The Canonization Process The process through which a holy person becomes an official Saint in the Church is called “canonization.” It generally begins at least 5 years after a person’s death.

Step 1: Research A group is appointed by a bishop to investigate the person’s life and holiness. During this stage, the person is referred to as a “Servant of God.” If the investigation is approved, the person is called “Venerable.”

Step 2: Miracles Miracles must be seen as being achieved through the intercession of that person. Once this is proven the person is called “Blessed.” This step is called “beatification.”

Final Step: Canonization After another miracle is attributed to this person, the Pope will make a formal declaration of “canonization” and the person is called a Saint!

Clarification It is important to realize that we do not pray TO saints, as if they were equal to God. Rather, we honor the Saints for their holy lives and, because of their close connection with God, we ask the Saints to pray WITH and FOR us.

A person’s “patron saint” could be the saint with whom she or he shares a name. Patron saints are also chosen as special protectors or guardians over areas of life (occupations, illnesses, countries, etc.) This practice seems to go back to the 4th century.
