Many believe that Pope Francis has performed miracles.
A baby’s unexpected recovery has been attributed to divine intervention after a meeting with the Pope.
Gianna Masciantonio, who had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at the age of one, had been taken to see the pontiff during his World Meeting of Families trip to Philadelphia
After receiving a kiss to the top of the head however doctors were surprised to discover that her tumor had shrunk considerably – so much so that it has since almost completely disappeared.
“You can’t really see the tumour, in all of the scans it’s just a blur,” said her mother Kristen. “She’s getting better and stronger. She’s blowing kisses. She’s starting to point at things.”
Both parents have attributed her recovery to divine intervention.
“I think all this is from God, the Pope is a messenger from God,” said her father Joey.
“Last year was about living in honor of her. Now we’re going to get to live with her.”
