A tour in the city of Caracas to honor the doctor of the poor, José Gregorio Hernández, will take place this Thursday, October 26, under the name “Ruta del Beato.”

The Archdiocese of Caracas, through social networks, announced this tour that it has organized and that includes some sites and churches where Hernández spent a large part of his life.

This event commemorates 159 years since the birth of this doctor devoted to the Catholic faith. “The ecclesiastical constituency takes the opportunity to happily invite accompanying the tour through different parts of the city,” according to parish priest Geraldino Barracchini.

It was learned that the “Ruta del Beato” will begin at the La Pastora church at 10:00 a.m. and will end at La Candelaria church at 5:00 p.m. with a procession accompanied by the image of the blessed. Devotees will be able to accompany the tour through the José Gregorio Hernández House Museum, the San José del Ávila Church, the Vargas Hospital, the National Pantheon, the Trinity Church, as well as the Las Mercedes Church.

It is important to remember that “the canonization of José Gregorio Hernández is in the study phase after his beatification, on April 30, 2022. The Vatican recognized the miracle he performed for Yaxury Solórzano Ortega, a young man who was shot in 2017 in head and survived without any sequelae from the operation.”

The beatification ceremony of the Venezuelan doctor José Gregorio Hernández, took place in the morning of this Friday, in the Church Juan Bautista de la Salle, Caracas.

Attendance at the beatification rite was limited to about 150 people due to biosecurity measures in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. High representatives of the Catholic Church gathered in the religious venue to witness the act presided over by the Apostolic Nuncio of Venezuela, Aldo Giordano, accompanied by Cardinal Baltazar Porras, devotees, organizers.

Among the attendees was accompanied by her mother the young girl Yaxury Solórzano, recipient of the miracle of healing attributed to José Gregorio Hernández from which the cause of beatification began before the Vatican.

Distinguished Venezuelan

The new saint of Venezuela, José Gregorio Hernández Cisneros, was born in Isnotú, Trujillo state, on October 26, 1864. He was a doctor dedicated to healing the poor, of great religious devotion, as well as a scientist and teacher with extensive training within and outside your native country. He died in a car accident in the city of Caracas on June 29, 1919.

In 1949, the Catholic Church began the canonization process. His Holiness John Paul II recognized in 1986 the virtues of the doctor and declared him venerable. This process was renewed on January 18, 2019, after the miracle of salvation was attributed to the girl Yaxury Solórzano after being wounded by a gunshot. The process continued its course and, happily for the people of Venezuela and other countries, Pope Francis authorized the beatification of José Gregorio Hernández on June 13, 2020.

A new saint is declared

Once the session prior to the beatification concluded, with Cardinal Baltazar Porras, the proclamation of José Gregorio Hernández as Saint was read by the Apostolic Nuncio Aldo Giordano.
