Oldest man in the world dead in 114; prayed the rosary twice daily
CNA Staff, Apr 4, 2024 / 11:30 am (CNA).
Juan Vicente Pérez Mora, a twice-daily prayer of the rosary who at his death was the confirmed oldest man in the world, died on April 2, just weeks before his 115th birthday.
Mora held the title of oldest man in the world for a few short years. He was awarded the distinction by Guinness World Records on Feb. 4, 2022, when he was 112 years and 253 days old.
His death was confirmed by Freddy Bernal, the governor of Táchira, Venezuela, where Mora lived.
“Our dear Juan Vicente Pérez Mora, today with deep sadness and pain we say goodbye to you, to that archetype of a man from Táchira, humble, hardworking, peaceful, enthusiastic about family and tradition,” Bernal wrote on X.

“Together with my wife and children we had the pleasure and the pride of meeting him and sharing with his loved ones,” the governor said. “My old Don Vicente, we will always remember him for his optimism in life, for faith, hope, and that deep love for our state of Táchira.”
President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela also paid tribute to Mora on X.
“Juan Vicente Pérez Mora has transcended into eternity at 114 years old,” he wrote. “I send my hugs and condolences to his family and to all the people of El Cobre, Táchira state. May God receive him in his holy glory.”
Juan Vicente Pérez Mora ha trascendido hacia la eternidad a sus 114 años, tachirense del poblado de El Cobre que le regaló a Venezuela el Récord Guinness por ser el hombre más longevo del mundo.

Born on May 27, 1909, in Venezuela, Mora was the ninth child of 10 born to Eutiquio del Rosario Pérez Mora and Edelmira Mora.
In 1914 the family moved to Los Pajuiles, a village in San José de Bolivar. When Mora was 5 years old, he started to work with his father and siblings in agriculture, specifically coffee harvesting and sugar cane.
At 10, he began school but was only able to attend for five months because his teacher became very ill. However, Mora was able to learn how to read and write thanks to a book his teacher had given him prior to her health declining.
Mora was also a sheriff in Caricuena from 1948 to 1958.
He was married to Ediofina del Rosario García for 60 years. She passed away in 1997. The couple had six sons and five daughters. The family has now grown to include 42 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
Among his family, Mora was known for his faith. He strived to build a solid relationship with God, his relatives, and he prayed the rosary twice a day.
Mora told Guinness World Records his secret to living a long life was to “work hard, rest on holidays, go to bed early, drink a glass of aguardiente [a strong liquor made from sugar cane] every day, love God, and always carry him in your heart.”
He added that he wanted to be remembered “as a hardworking man, faithful to his wife and his religion.”

the rosary has nothing to do with his long life. that is nothing but a load of beads. long life is of the grace of God alone. the scripture says,’ for long life and many days keep my commandments’.
Ah, so touching. A true believer could have had a real prayer life with a Real Creator, and lived for eternity.
Well, to know Truth, examine the blood to know its DNA for (1) age, (2) location of birth, (3), and blood type: either (A), (B), (A/B), (O), or (Rh). Blood type-Rh abbreviates Rhesus monkey strain [evil beings]. Father God Jesus says to NOAH (Genesis 6), that starting with grandchildren and all humans until the end of time, we are granted 120 years of life to do the best we can with the limited time Father God Jesus allows to fulfill the assignments HE’s chosen for us.
Father God Jesus’ assigned missions to His “beloved offspring humans” are:
WHITE people missioned as His ARMY to “protect humanity and eradicate evil on Earth.”
BROWN and BLACK people missioned to “nurture and protect Earth.”
It appears that WHITE, BROWN, and BLACK people are DISOBEDIENT! Why are there EVIL beings genociding humanity? Why are there evil beings poisoning / destroying Earth?
WAKE UP HUMANS! WE MUST COME TOGETHER TO ERADICATE EVIL THAT SURROUNDS US OR DIE BY DOING NOTHING AGAINST THE EVIL BEINGS that Father God Jesus said, “FEED EVIL BEINGS TO THE CARNIVORES.”
God love and bless him, may he rest in peace!
