Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez Oil

Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez was a Venezuelan physician noted for both his medical skills and his charity in treating the poor without charge. He is commonly called the doctor of the poor.

After his death in 1919, he quickly became a folk saint and achieved immense popularity within and beyond the borders of Venezuela. The Catholic Church began the often long and drawn-out process of formally recognizing him as an official saint in 1949. The Venerable Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez was beatified - the final step before canonization towards official sainthood - in 2020 due to miracles of healing attributed to him since then, so his technical title is now the Blessed Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez. (Many folks just call him Jose Gregorio, though.)

He is seen as a spiritual assistant to doctors and as a patron of those whose poverty makes it difficult for them to obtain medical treatment. He's a wonderful ally for those having trouble getting a correct diagnosis and who need their physicians to be blessed with perception and insight to accurately diagnose and treat their illnesses. He's also helpful in breaking through red tape for those who need a referral to, or authorization from, a specialist in order to obtain the treatment they need.
