List of blesseds

Beatification (from Latin beatus, blessed, via Greek μακάριος, makarios) is a recognition by the Catholic church of a dead person's accession to Heaven and capacity to intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in his or her name. Beatification is the third of the four steps in the canonisation process to becamonig a saint. A person who is beatified is given the title "Blessed" which is sometimes also abbreviated to "Bl."
