Who they were
A Hungarian Discalced Carmelite who taught the 'little way' of Saint Therese and wrote widely on the spiritual life, he died in Budapest in 1966.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
Pope Francis declared him Venerable on 9 December 2013.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
