Any miracles or anything? I think its living a holy life? I was only thinking of Servants of God, but from Blesseds, Bl Dina Belanger! I have her autobiography and its amazing. She lived a very mystical life. I got to visit her tomb in the summer that was a real blessing. Here's a good biography of her: http://www.mysticsofthechurch.com/2010/09/blessed-dina-belanger-mother-ste-cecile.html?m=1 Also Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity! http://www.discerninghearts.com/catholic-podcasts/blessed-elizabeth-of-the-trinity-2/ The website mystics of the Church has more saintly people who are on their way to beatification: http://www.mysticsofthechurch.com/?m=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corban711 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 One is referred to as "Servant of God" once their cause has been formally introduced/accepted in Rome. During that time their life is studied intensely and if they are found to have lived a life of heroic virtue they are declared Venerable. Servant of God is the introductory stage before being declared venerable, when the cause has moved past the diocesan level and had been opened with the approval of the Church in Rome.

veritasluxmea Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Check out this guy's story- his cause has been opened. http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/20160117_From_disabling_injury__a_life_of_saintly_inspiration.html#qOt3ydu0zmEs0LvD.01 From disabling injury, a life of saintly inspiration "During our second year, our novitiate, he stopped playing ball forever. He was thrown from a toboggan after the season's final snowfall. His forehead fiercely smacked a skinny tree, and he was paralyzed. At the hospital he was pronounced terminal. "He won't live out the night," his doctors said, unaware that, although he couldn't move a muscle and was temporarily blind, he could hear just fine. For example, for the first time in his life he heard the wordquadriplegic. The doctors did him an unintended favor. Their casual dismissiveness, combined with their heroic efforts to stabilize him, gave him one, only one, area of control. He could prove them wrong. He could live. And he did. This was the first of four impossible feats the former athlete performed. The second was to arrange for physical therapy at a time when people with his level of disability rarely received it. At Magee Rehabilitation Hospital in Philadelphia, he eventually learned to feed himself and to work an electric wheelchair. The third impossibility was the resumption of his studies for the priesthood. In the history of the Catholic Church, no one with his level of disability was known to have been ordained a priest. I was there in 1974 when Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia made that very point as he ordained Bill an Augustinian priest." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
