Sister Marie Simon-Pierre talks to faithful crowding the Circus Maximus in Rome, Saturday, April 30, 2011, where thousands of people gathered in front of a giant screen for a prayer vigil honoring Pope John Paul II on the eve of his beatification. The Vatican decreed that Sister Marie Simon-Pierre's inexplicable cure from Parkinson's was the miracle needed to beatify John Paul. John Paul is to be beatified Sunday in St. Peter's Square in the fastest beatification in modern times. He died April 2, 2005. (AP Photo/Antonio Calanni)
