Earlier, the Commission of Physicians of the Congregation for the causes of the Saints of the Vatican approved the miracle performed by Dr. José Gregorio Hernández to a girl from Apure state, Yaxury Solorzano, 13 years old.

A total of 27 formal miracles have been returned by the Holy See, for not having a requirement.
Through her account on the Twitter social network, the Venezuelan journalist and correspondent at the Vatican, Marinellys Tremamunno, indicated that only remains the theological consultation and evaluation at the Plenary of Cardinals and Bishops, that will be carried out in the Holy See in the upcoming months
Hernández was a doctor, scientist, teacher and philanthropist with a deep religious vocation. He was born on October 26, 1864, in Isnotú, Trujillo state, in the Rafael Rangel municipality. His remains rest in the church of La Candelaria in Caracas.
The Venezuelan people have had years of struggle for the Catholic Church to include the doctor as blessed, for the countless miracles that many have testified.
