- Servant of God: The initial stage when a person's life is examined for heroic virtue.
- Venerable: The person is recognized for having lived a life of heroic virtue.
- Blessed: A miracle attributed to the person's intercession is verified.
- Saint: A second miracle is verified, leading to canonization.
This process ensures that those recognized as saints truly embody the virtues of Christian life and serve as models for the faithful.
