What are the three steps in the canonization process?

The three steps in the canonization process involve:

1. Examination of a candidate’s life for evidence of holiness—i.e., declaring the person “Venerable”)
2. Verification of a miracle that has been attributed to the person’s intercession—i.e., beatification, or declaring the person “Blessed”)
3. Canonization, which requires at least one more verified miracle and culminates in the candidate being declared a “Saint”
