A Professed Priest of the Order of Discalced Carmelites advances towards Beatification

Just recently, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, with Pope Francis' approval has issued series of decrees recognizing one Spanish Martyr and eight others with heroic virtues.

One of those who were recognized with a Heroic Virue is a professed Spanish priest of the Order of Discalced Carmelites, Zacarias of St. Teresa (1887-1957).

With  this proclamation, the eight with a recognized Heroic Virtue would require a confirmed miracle through their intercession for them to qualify for beatification.
