Saint
A title given to the Servants of God after the state of their heroic virtue or martyrdom has been proved and a solemn decree to that effect has been signed by the Pope. (Etym. Latin venerabilis, from venerari, to regard with religious awe.)
Venerable
A declaration by the Pope as head of the Church that one
of the deceased faithful lived a holy life and/or died a
martyr’s death and is now dwelling in heaven. As a process,
the beatification consists of a years-long examination of the
life, virtues, writings, and reputation for holiness of the
servant of God under consideration.
Beatification
Declaration by the Pope that a deceased person
is raised to the full honors of the altar, i.e., a saint
after previously having been beatified. Two
miracles credited to the beatus (feminine: beata)
are usually required before canonization to attest
the heroic virtue of the saint.
