How many miracles does it take to be canonized a saint?

Post by Denise »

The canonization process can vary depending on the saint and the history behind them.

For those men and women who are canonized, a lengthy process is initiated in which their lives are first examined. If they are shown to have lived a life of heroic virtue, their cause typically progresses and the next stage depends on the verification of miracles.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
