Stress' was the catch-all every pamper-pedlar I spoke to used to explain why healthy women feel the need to be regularly patted, petted and preened into a state of babyish beatification.

British Journalist

Beatification is a formal religious ceremony, specific to the Catholic faith.

Religious Ceremony

Beatification is not the same as becoming a saint; it's a step before it.

Not Sainthood

The Pope must approve the beatification of a person in the Catholic Church.

Pope's Approval

Beatification in this sense refers to a state of extreme happiness or joy.

Intense Joy

Often used after personal achievements or life's milestones.

Personal Triumph

Describes outward expressions of joy, not just internal feelings.
