The life of Bl. Jos\u00e9 Gregorio Hern\u00e1ndez is full of fascinating anecdotes, which, 102 years after his death, continue to be proof of his holiness.<\/p>\n
PINO ESPOSITO<\/strong> Pino Esposito wrote the book \u201cDr. Jos\u00e9 Gregorio Hern\u00e1ndez Cisneros, a Good Samaritan in the streets of Caracas,\u201d the first book in Italian about the live of the new Blessed.<\/p>\n With a unique narrative style, he recounts Jos\u00e9 Gregorio's experiences as if he had witnessed them firsthand, either as a friend or curious bystander. One of them is how the Blessed came to understand that his vocation was not to the priesthood.<\/p>\n PINO ESPOSITO<\/strong> Fr. Pino Esposito says that even the beatification ceremony was marked by the Blessed's personality.<\/p>\n PINO ESPOSITO<\/strong> The Venezuelan Blessed's impact is felt even in Rome. Pope Francis recently declared him the patron of the cycle of Studies of Peace Sciences at the Pontifical Lateran University. It's perhaps a sign of hope for the people of Venezuela struggling through a humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Daniel D\u00edaz Vizzi<\/p>\n TR: CT<\/p>\n RR<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 16, 2021- Pino Esposito recounts the Venezuelan Blessed's experiences as if he had witnessed them firsthand, in his book, \u201cDr. Jos\u00e9 Gregorio Hern\u00e1ndez Cisneros, a Good Samaritan in the streets of Caracas.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":13971,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1K43cAof4QE","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/blibrojosegregorioeng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/blibrojosegregorioint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45300"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
