Wheelchair-bound Girl Believes The 'Miracle' Began After Pope's Blessing

She not only believed in miracles, but even claimed that she saw it working.

Julia Bruzzese, 12-year-old New York girl who is on a wheelchair due to an inexplicable paralysis, believes that meeting Pope Francis at JFK Airport during his U.S. visit has already begun to help her heal.

"I came here because I wanted to meet the pope because I believe in a miracle," Bruzzese said after having the encounter with the pope at the airport, CBS New York reported.

Her mother had called the Pope to the girl. The mother explained: "He looked me right in the eyes; I kissed his hand and thanked him, and I walked away [saying] 'she's gonna be okay'," Josephine Bruzzese said.

And a few days later, doctors got some clarity regarding her diagnosis.

"The miracle has begun. Yesterday, I went to the doctor and for the first time they saw Lyme disease activity in my blood and that just shows a miracle can happen if you believe, just like I did. If you believe and pray, everything can happen," the young girl from St. Bernadette School said on CBS, Fox News reported.

Earlier, her bloodwork and symptoms did not point to Lyme disease.

"It's unfortunate that this has happened. This experience has made me wiser, made me look at life in a different perspective. Life is precious," Bruzzese added.

Julia has a few small wishes---to get back to playing softball and soccer, singing in the choir and being an altar server.
