Pedro José de los Sagrados Corazones de Jesús y María
Discalced Carmelite priest, in the world Pedro Jiménez Vallejo, martyr of the persecution in Spain
Who they were
Born on 22 February 1861 and ordained priest in 1885, he entered the Order of Discalced Carmelites and made his solemn vows in 1895; in his own friary he heard the confessions of the young religious and was their master of piety. He was beatified on 28 October 2007 by Benedict XVI with Eusebio del Niño Jesús (in the world Ovidio Fernández Arenillas) and 15 companions of the Order of Discalced Carmelites.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
The decree on martyrdom lists him among the Discalced Carmelites killed in the 1936 persecution in Spain.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
