The Catholic Church in the Philippines has taken significant steps toward the canonization of Nina Ruiz-Abad, a Filipino teenager known for her unwavering faith and acts of charity.
During a recent ceremony, the Church unveiled an official portrait of Ruiz-Abad, shedding light on her remarkable life and the miracles attributed to her intercession.
Miraculous Testimonies and Relics:
Among the documents presented were testimonies detailing alleged miracles believed to have occurred through Ruiz-Abad’s intercession.
One notable account tells of a student from Holy Spirit Academy in Laoag who claimed to have been miraculously cured after praying to Ruiz-Abad.
Additionally, the ceremony featured the unveiling of Ruiz-Abad’s first relic, a reliquary containing a small piece of cloth from her clothing.
Devotion Despite Adversity:
Despite suffering from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, an incurable heart disease diagnosed when she was just 10 years old, Ruiz-Abad’s devotion to God and acts of charity left a profound impact on those around her.
Her resilience in the face of adversity and her unwavering faith serve as a testament to her extraordinary character and dedication to serving others.
Progress in Canonization Process:
The formal request to open an investigation into Ruiz-Abad’s life was approved by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) in July 2023, marking a significant milestone in her path to sainthood.
The CBCP has recognized Ruiz-Abad as a potential role model of piety and fortitude, particularly for today’s youth, emphasizing her enduring legacy of faith and compassion.
