Church Honors Nina Ruiz-Abad with Official Portrait, Highlights Miracles and Acts of Charity on Path to Sainthood

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.
