Architect Antoni Gaudí Is Placed on the Path to Sainthood | Ogn Daily

Amid the towering spires of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí's legacy stretches beyond stone and sky. His work, a confluence of faith and artistry, finds him posthumously inching closer to sainthood-a testament to his "heroic virtues." The Vatican recently declared him "venerable," marking a significant step in this spiritual journey. Yet, the path to canonization is fraught with divine prerequisites, where miracles must be substantiated, aligning earthly deeds with heavenly standards. In a world where faith and skepticism often collide, Italian historian Giovanni Maria Vian's words ring true: Gaudí was "a Christian visionary," deserving of such reverence. Art historian Lourdes Cirlot echoes the notion that belief can bridge the mundane and the miraculous. As the unfinished masterpiece stands resolute against time, the question lingers: can the ethereal beauty of Gaudí's creation inspire miracles in the hearts of those who wander within its sacred walls?
