Amid the suffering due to a devastating economic crisis and a global pandemic, the beatification of José Gregorio Hernández, affectionately known as the doctor of the poor, is a testament of the faith and hope of the people of Venezuela, Pope Francis said.
In a video message released by the Vatican April 29, the pope said Hernández s beatification is a special blessing of God for Venezuela and an example for Venezuelans to follow as they work toward reviving the country with a spirit of reconciliation.
