Andrea Tornielli of the Italian newspaper Il Giornale reported yesterday that a second miraculous healing has been attributed to the intercession of Pope John Paul II and his beatification will be this year, maybe as early as April.
Sister Marie Simon-Pierre of France was suddenly cured of an aggressive form of Parkinson’s disease in June, 2005 through the intercession of the pope. The medical consultants of the Congregation of the Saints verified the cure and the theologians who studied this agreed.
You may recall after John Paul II’s death the throng of people in St. Peter’s square who called out, “Santo subito!” which means, “A saint, now!”
Stay tuned for more as the weeks pass.
