JPII & A Mysterious Nun
The cause for the canonization of Pope John Paul II is now into its second year. I have no idea how fast God has performed a miracle after a saint’s death and an intercession being sought from the presumed saint, but the speed with which God answered JPII’s intercession (I’m assuming all this) on behalf of a French nun with Parkinson’s disease is unbelievable. The nun was cured within two months of JPII’s death. It’s as if God Himself is among the crowd, during JPII’s funeral, who chanted Santo Subito.
The identity of the nun has been kept a secret till now. It was feared that if she was identified now, her privacy would habe been sacrificed. Now we know that the mysterious nun is Sr. Marie Simon-Pierre. Her photo below shows someone who’s not afarid of being in the limelight and that now millions of people will recognize her. In fact she looks like she’s glad to be a witness to Christ’s healing powers through his previous Vicar on Earth. This ought to advance the faith of the believers and derail the detractors of anything divine.
It’s also intriguing that JPII interceded for a fellow Parkinson’s sufferer. How wonderful it would have been if Michael J. Fox also turned to JPII for help instead of inciting the American public to vote for embryonic stem-cell research. He may still be cured if he genuinely believes as Sr. Simon-Pierre does.
I wonder if JPII would eventually be canonized as the patron saint for Parkinson’s sufferers?
