01:19Mother Carmen Rendiles and Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez were canonized to becoming the

01:29official delegations celebrated the canonization of seven new saints of the
01:34Catholic Church in this scenario. Pope Leo XIV highlighted the importance of these
01:39figures as living testimonies of faith, charity and commitment to the most
01:45vulnerable. The canonization of Mother Carmen Rendiles and Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez has been the most anticipated event for the Venezuelan
01:54Catholic Church. In honor of the most holy Trinity, for the exaltation of the Catholic faith and the growth of Christian life, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Apostles Peter, and Paul, and ours, after having reflected at length,
02:01often invoking divine aid, and hearing the opinions of numerous brothers in the Episcopate, we declare and define the

02:43And we inscribe them in the Catalog of Saints, and we establish that, throughout the Church, they be devoutly honored among the saints,
02:51in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
03:10Cardinal Marcelo Semeraro, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, honored the life of Saint
03:20Jose Gregorio Hernandez, praising his legacy as a symbol of faith and solidarity.
03:27Jose Gregorio Hernandez Cisneros, blessed Jose Gregorio Hernandez Cisneros,
03:35was born in Venezuela in 1864, studied medicine at the University of Caracas,
03:44and was sent by the Venezuelan authorities to further his studies in Paris, with the aim of establishing in his native country,
03:53a number of professorships of which he became the holder.
03:57A public medicine practitioner, he conducted specific studies, and received numerous awards.
04:05However, above all, he became famous as the doctor of the poor, because he treated those who had nothing to pay him for free.
04:15In fact, he even bought their medicines for them.
04:19Through this form of charity, he fulfilled his aspiration to consecrated life, which was denied him due to his fragile health.
04:28He died in a traffic accident while transporting medication to a sick child on June 29, 1919.
04:38He was identified by Pope Francis in 2021.
04:44Cardinal Marcelo Semeraro also remembered the life of Mother Carmen Rendiles, honoring her legacy of faith, humanity, and service.
04:56On May 9, 1977, blessed Maria Carmen Rendiles Martinez, founder and superior general of the Religious Family of the Servants of Jesus, died in Caracas, Venezuela.
05:13She was born in 1903, and at the age of 24, she entered the Congregation of the Servants of Jesus Most Holy Sacrament.
05:23When the Congregation became a secular institute, she and other sisters, in their desire to continue living their religious vocation, they asked to be able to create a new institute, that would continue with the same charism of love for the Eucharist, and service to priests.
05:44The last three years of her life were marked by the consequences of a car accident that made it difficult for her to work for the Congregation.
05:54Pope Francis proclaimed her blessed in 2018.
06:04In Vatican City, a large delegation of Venezuelans and representatives of the Episcopal Conference expressed their favor and devotion to saints, Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez and Mother Carmen Rendiles.
06:15These saints represent for us a model, an example of the Church's journey in consecrated life in its various forms, Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez, as a consecrated layman, and my mother Carmen Rendiles, as a religious sister.
06:30The Church is a religious sister. The Church is rich in charisma. We ourselves are a community of consecrated laymen.
06:37I am from Venezuela. I have come for the canonization of Jose Gregorio Hernandez. I have been a devotee for many years, as well as my family. I have come from Genoa to be present representing my country.
06:51And in the state of Trujillo, in Venezuela, a caravan of hundreds of people celebrated the canonization of St. Jose Gregorio Hernandez and St. Carmen Rendiles.
07:02The parishioners walked 17 kilometers from the city of Valera to the town of Isnotu to accompany and honor the first saints of Venezuela.
07:11The people of Trujillo are proud that a distinguished citizen such as Dr. Jose Gregorio was recognized by the Vatican and received the highest honor for his spiritual commitment.
07:22A group of doctors also participated and were pleased and happy to be part of the procession, which they believe represents an opportunity to renew faith and strengthen ties between citizens.
07:34And as part of the celebration of St. Jose Gregorio Hernandez and Mother Carmen Rendiles in Isnotu, the faithful and devoted held a procession in honor of the first Venezuelan saints.
07:50It should be noted that the holiness of St. Jose Gregorio Hernandez was officially approved on February 21st, 2025, by Pope Francis, who ratified the favorable votes received in the ordinary session of the cardinal fathers and bishops of the congregation for the causes of saints.
08:11Also from the Venezuelan capital, from Candelaria Square, citizens joined the canonization vigil entitled Saints for All, an event of faith and popular unity for all capital residents near the area.
08:29This historic event is celebrated with songs, exhibitions, community renewals, restorations, new bells and many prayers that rise up through the streets of Caracas in gratitude for the miracles granted by St. Jose Gregorio Hernandez and Mother Carmen Rendiles.
08:46Amidst the fireworks and prayers from La Guayra, parishioners celebrate the canonization of St. Jose Gregorio Hernandez and Mother Carmen Rendiles, hundreds of faithful attended the event as a sign of gratitude to St. Jose Gregorio Hernandez for the miracles performed in his life.
09:11This ecclesiastical recognition not only honours the legacy of faith and service of these two figures, but also marks a transcendental milestone as they are the first Venezuelans blessed to be elevated to sainthood.
09:25And the people of Venezuela as a whole celebrate with great joy and devotion the canonization of Venezuelans Jose Gregorio Hernandez and Carmen Rendiles, Venezuelan president.
09:41The event was marked by the faith and enthusiasm of thousands of faithful who waited for the canonization mass.
09:57In this regard, the head of state affirmed that Pope Francis fulfilled his promise of canonization for Jose Gregorio Hernandez and now the Venezuelan people feel immense gratitude towards the Catholic Church.
10:09It is truly a very exciting day and a day of spiritual joy for all of Venezuela, for all Venezuelans and beyond our borders because Jose Gregorio has always reached beyond our borders.
10:31He was always a saint here, we are in his home, I wanted to come to his home again.
10:38This is what we are inaugurating here as a museum, where he lived here in Caracas.
10:45And we have also seen people in his notice since yesterday afternoon, they have been keeping watch for more than 12 hours, and it is a day where the power of holiness of the people of Venezuela has been recognized for the first time.
11:12There are two saints, a man and a woman, a great saint, Mother Carmen Rendiles, and the saint, the doctor of the poor, our doctor Jose Gregorio Hernandez.

11:34Moreover, the Venezuelan president asked the new saints to protect the people of Venezuela.
11:41Today I committed myself to the Holy Trinity, and asked Mother Carmen, Holy Mother Carmen Rendiles, and Dr. Jose Gregorio, to the Holy Trinity.
11:48To cover our country with a sacred cloak, so that our country may continue to exist.
