tif1cation of the Lilly of the Mo hawks" were begun by the Bishop of Albany, N. Y, in 1881. The late Pope Plus XII granted a special audience to Monsignor Egidio Vag- nozzi of the Apostolic delegation of Washington who presented the Pontiff with 70 petitions for the justification.
 The plea for a speedy conclusion of her beatif1cation did not alter the road to sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church-a lengthy and exhaustive journey.
 Steps Are Vital
 Steps towards justification, the first important milestone towards canonization, include examination of the candidates writings, collec- tion of evidence of martyrdom or heroic practice of the theological virture-faith, hope and charity and the four great moral virtues prudence, justice, fortitude and tenn perance.
 After an examination, lasting several years, of a large collection of evidence, the historical section of the Holy Congregation of Rites gave it's approval, in 1888, to the justification of the Iidian girl and the same time transmitted her case to the Congregation itself.
 When the proceedings for eleva- tion to the Honor of the Altar have reached that point evidence of two miracles is required and later tYo more for the subsequent and final goal, canonization, which us- ually takes two more years.
