📖 Key Information
Beatification (from Latin beatus 'blessed' and facere 'to make') is a recognition accorded by the Catholic Church of a deceased person's entrance into Heaven and capacity to intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in their name. Beati is the plural form, referring to those who have undergone the process of beatification; they possess the title of "Blessed" () (abbreviation "Bl.") before their names and are often referred to in English as "a Blessed" or, plurally, "Blesseds".
Blesseds are venerated regionally, Saints by the entire universal Church.
