Beatification is the declaration, by papal decree, that a person of Christian faith has practiced natural and Christian virtues in an exemplary, even heroic way. Moreover, the recognition of a miracle obtained through his intercession presupposes that the person is in heaven.<\/p>

The cause of beatification of Empress Zita was opened in the diocese of Le Mans by Bishop Le Saux in 2009, after approval by the Congregation for the Cause of Saints regarding the development of the fama sanctitatis<\/strong><\/em> in the countries where she lived.\u00a0 From that day, Empress Zita of Austria became a Servant of God.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The ties linking the Servant of God with France come not only from her family\u2019s origins, but also from the ties with the two monasteries of Solesmes (in the diocese of Le Mans). At the Moniales, she had known her grandmother, Mother Adelaide of Braganza, queen of Portugal, who, after the death of her husband, became a Benedictine in Solesmes; three of her sisters also followed this example.<\/em><\/p>

In the midst of her many trials, the monastery of Sainte-C\u00e9cile de Solesmes was, for the empress Zita, a spiritual anchor she needed. As an Oblate of the Abbey of Saint-Pierre in 1926, she spent several months there, almost every year, and was able to reside within the enclosure of the Abbey of Sainte-C\u00e9cile, thanks to an indult by Pius XII<\/em><\/p>

The nuns have always emphasized the discretion and great simplicity with which Her Majesty lived in enclosure, endeavouring to not disturb in any way the conventual life and to respect the rule of silence.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u00a0<\/p>

She faithfully attended choir prayer offices, devoted long moments to prayer and reading, and helped the nuns in their daily tasks. Her stays in Solesmes were always a time of rest, a spiritual retreat and a moment of joy with her sisters. Unable to become a nun herself, following the opposition of her children, she directed several young vocations, especially Basque ones, towards the monastery of Sainte-C\u00e9cile.<\/em><\/p>

All this explains in part why the cause of his beatification was opened in the diocese of Le Mans.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

The dignity of the lay faithful is revealed to us in its fullness if we examine the first and fundamental vocation which the Father offers in Jesus Christ through the Spirit to each one of them: the vocation to holiness, that is, to the perfection of charity.\u00a0 The saint is the most striking witness to the dignity conferred on the disciple of Christ\u201d.<\/em>

A beatification trial begins when a bundle of facts, testimonies and writings show that this person is considered a saint: this is what is called fama sanctitatis (the<\/em> fame of holiness)<\/p>

In the case of Zita, it is her life as a mother, wife and sovereign that is presented to the judgment of the Church, a unique life according to God\u2019s plan as every human life is unique.<\/p>

Emperor Charles was beatified on 3 October 2004 by Saint John Paul II: \u201cas a statesman and as a Christian, he sought the will of God in everything, recognized it and followed it\u201d<\/em> (cf. homily at the Mass for the Beatification), especially because of his commitment to peace during the First World War: \u00abEmperor Charles conceived his office as a holy service to his peoples\u00bb<\/em>.\u00a0 Without presuming the sovereign judgment of the Church, the Christian life of the couple formed by Charles<\/strong> and Zita of Austria<\/strong> is also exemplary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Association for the Beatification of Empress Zita is an actor in the cause<\/strong>: it appoints the postulator and promotes this cause in beatification to meet the request of many people who have been affected by the life of Empress Zita.\u00a0 It is a spiritual process to make known the life of someone who has had important roles in the world and lived in a specific historical context.<\/p>

The Postulator<\/strong> is Abbot Leonhardt of the diocese of Strasbourg.<\/p>

The Tribunal<\/strong> was installed at the opening of the diocesan trial, on 10 December 2009, by Bishop Le Saux at the bishopric of Le Mans.\u00a0 It is presided by the current bishop of Le Mans, Monseigneur Vuillemin.\u00a0 The delegated judge is Abb\u00e9 Bonnet, parish priest of Bougival (78380).\u00a0 The Tribunal is responsible for conducting interviews with persons identified by the postulator, because of their proximity to the empress.\u00a0 This phase is over.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Historical Commission<\/strong> is chaired by Fra Emmanuel Rousseau, Grand Commander of the Sovereign Order of Malta.\u00a0 He is responsible for authenticating documents, letters and articles concerning the Servant of God Zita.\u00a0 Eventually translate the texts (letters, archives…) and classify them in order to identify the virtues of the Servant of God Zita.<\/p>

The Theological Commission<\/strong> is responsible for verifying whether the writings of the empress are in conformity with the doctrine and teachings of the Church.\u00a0 We do not know the members and they do not know each other.<\/p>

Once these two commissions have completed their work, all the documents will be compiled into a Positio<\/strong><\/em> which will be sent to Rome for the Roman phase.<\/p>

Throughout the work, the association plays an essential role: to make known the life and spirituality of the Servant of God Zita to develop the fama sanctitatis, <\/strong><\/em>organizing events throughout the year: masses, conferences, Forum (15 October 2022), Zita Day (9 October 2023) articles, interviews…<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
