Una estatua de Hernández en la Iglesia de La Candelaria el día de su ceremonia. El médico fue beatificado luego de que la Iglesia Católica le atribuyera un prodigio por excluir la vida de una pupila.At the time, he lived with two of his siblings, and money was scarce. He developed a frugal lifestyle, which stayed with him the rest of his life.
