The Labrecque resurrection bears all the hallmarks of the miraculous cure. It is medically mysterious, spontaneous and quick. It happened to a religious believer who knew that dozens of other believers were praying for him. Most importantly, the retelling of the story --if not the healing itself -- relied on the intercession of a saintly figure. In this case, it was not just the former pope, whom the Labrecques admired deeply, but also the founder of the Army of Mary, Marie-Paule Giguere, an 86-year-old Quebec mystic who claims to be a reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, a photo of whom Suzanne had hung above the hospital bed.
