Following the recent recognition by Pope Francis of the heroic virtues of the Guatemalan doctor Ernesto Guillermo Cofiño Ubico, member of Opus Dei, Father Santiago Callejo Goena, postulator of his cause, encourages people to continue “asking for graces and favors of all kinds.” , and leave “a record of them”, with a view to their possible beatification.
On December 14, Pope Francis declared Ernesto Cofiño “venerable,” highlighting his heroic experience of Christian virtues as a family man and pediatrician, committed to serving the most needy children.
After the Vatican declaration, the next step on his way to the altars would be beatification. To do this, a miracle attributed to his intercession must fundamentally be proven, which the Church understands as a confirmation of the Venerable’s sanctity.
