Monsignor Robert Sarno discusses the process of canonization and the lives of various saints.

What goes into the making of a saint? How does it feel to listen to testimonies, investigate miracles, and explore the lives of Mother Teresa and Padre Pio, Pier Giorgio Frassati and Fr. Damien of Molokai? What are the inner workings of the Holy See that usher some from servant of God to venerable to blessed to saint? Join Msgr. Robert Sarno, a key player in the Vatican's Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, and me as he reveals the fascinating and wondrous way that a person becomes a canonized saint on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast .
