The Italian media is reporting that “Vatican sources” say the second miracle needed to canonize Blessed John Paul II has been approved by a board of theologians.

UCANews.com is reporting that the board of theologians of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints has approved the second miracle needed for the canonization of Blessed John Paul II.

The proclamation of his sainthood now needs only the approval of the commission of cardinals and bishops and the final signature of Pope Francis. If these approvals are forthcoming, and most expect they will be soon, the Pope could be proclaimed a saint as early as October 20 of this year – a date that would mark the 35th anniversary of his election as pope.

Details about the second miracle have been a closely guarded secret but sources say it will “amaze the world.”

The first miracle attributed to the late pontiff was the cure of a French nun of Parkinson’s disease, the same affliction the pope suffered with during the last years of his life.

Thus far, the Vatican has made no official statement about this latest step in the process.
