A young man's miraculous recovery from an execution-style gunshot to the head bolsters Pope John Paul II's case for sainthood. See article and videos here: http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/04 ... aebly.html
Deanna, thats the second one that I have heard of this week. The other one happened at St Peters Basilica in Rome on a pilgrimage to the grave of Pope John Paul II on the eve of the fourth anniversary. The child, a nine yr old boy who was crippled by a kidney tumour was able to walk again. After praying at the tomb the boy said "I want to walk". If investigations reveal that there are no scientific explanations for the childs recovery, the healing may be put forward as the miracle needed to declare John Paul II 'blessed'. A second miracle will be required to declare him a saint. By the way I've just googled your miracle and it was five weeks ago that it happened, so does this mean that the sufficient number of miracles have happened? Stunning stuff! I don't actually know how many miracles a person has to have atributed to them to make them a saint-is it only two? Enlighten me! : Siobhan
JP II seems to be working overtime 8) . I already pray to him as if he's in been canonized, because even without the miracles, I'm pretty sure he's a saint.
