The reports of an approved miracle are surfacing as moving more and more toward a confirmation by the cardinals and bishops of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints before the dossier is given to Pope Benedict for his approval. Theologians, physicians and other professionals have been studying a case of French Sister Marie Simon-Pierre who lived with the effects of Parkinson's Disease until June 2005.Sister Marie Simon-Pierre said she was healed of the disease following her prayers to the Venerable Servant of God Pope John Paul II asking him to intercede for her for the gift of God's healing from Parkinson's. She described her healing as a second birth with the renewed use of her arms and legs. Word about the miracle's approval ought to be coming very soon with a possible beatification of John Paul later in 2011.
