Pope Francis greets beatification of Jose Gregorio Hernandez

Vatican City, May 2 (Prensa Latina) Pope Francis on Sunday greeted the beatification of Venezuelan physician Jose Gregorio Hernandez, and asked that his example help others to care for those who suffer in body and spirit.

In a commentary after concluding the Queen of Heaven Sunday prayer, the pontiff recalled the exaltation ceremony held in Caracas two days ago and noted that Hernandez ‘was a doctor, rich in science and faith’.

In highlighting the qualities of the new Blessed of the Catholic Church, Francis noted that ‘he knew how to recognize in the sick the face of Christ and, as a Good Samaritan, he helped them with evangelical charity’.
