French nun Sister Marie Simon-Pierre attends a news conference in Aix en Provence, Southern France on January 17, 2011. Vatican officials have said the miracle attributed to the intercession of John Paul with God concerned Sister Marie Simon-Pierre Normand, a 49-year-old French nun diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, from which the pope himself had suffered. She said her illness inexplicably disappeared two months after his death when she and her fellow nuns prayed to him. The former pontiff, who died in 2005, is credited with saving the life of the French nun and he is now expected to be beatified, the step before canonisation as a saint, before the end of the year.
