Pope John Paul II is on his way to sainthood when he is beatified on May 1 for the performance of a miracle - curing a French nun of Parkinson's. From the L.A. Times:
"For sainthood, a second confirmed miracle is required. Reports surfaced last year that at least some church investigators were doubtful of claims by Sister Marie Simon-Pierre, a French nun, to have been cured of Parkinson's through John Paul's intercession. But the panel overseeing such investigations concluded that the nun's recovery from the degenerative disease had no other explanation -- in other words, that it was a genuine miracle. Although accelerated procedures toward sainthood are unusual, they are not without precedent. John Paul himself put Mother Teresa on the "fast track" to beatification after her death in 1997. She was beatified in 2003." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...,1088918.story

yes. I believe that healing IS a mystical experience-not a mental one.
