French nun Sister Marie Simon-Pierre attends a news conference in Aix en Provence, 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.
