SECOND MIRACLE THROUGH JPII Pope Francis has approved a second miracle attributed to the intercession of Pope John Paul II, clearing the way for his canonization just eight years after his death. TawagAwit welcomes the announcement with much joy as Blessed John Paul II is the ministry’s patron, and a number of healing among members and friends have been attributed through his intercession. TawagAwit also made a 40-day novena leading towards the 2011 Rugby World Cup for New Zealand’s All Blacks to win, and in a thrilling finale, the All Blacks won. A special Consistory of the College of Cardinals has been called to decide upon the details of the canonization of Blessed John Paul II; Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said that while dates have not been set, it is possible that John Paul together with John XXIII will be canonized at the same time. He also stated that he believed the canonizations would take place before the end of the year.

Concerning the miracle attributed to John Paul II’s intercession was the healing of a severely ill woman from Costa Rica. Spanish newspaper La Razon has identified her as Floribeth Mora, and said she suffered from a cerebral aneurism that was inexplicably cured on May 1, 2011 — the very day of John Paul's beatification. Her family prayed for her at the time; she had been given only a month to live. Her doctor, Dr. Alejandro Vargas, told La Razon that the disappearance of the aneurism “surprised me a lot” and that he couldn’t explain it “based on science." Some reports say the exact details of the miracle, which will "amaze the world". The first miracle that led to John Paul II’s beatification in 2011 concerned Sister Marie Simon Pierre, whose recovery from Parkinson's disease could not be explained by a Vatican panel of medical experts.
