Sometimes you just have to have a little faith.

A 117-year-old blind nun from France, who’s confined to a wheelchair, celebrated her 117th birthday after surviving a bout of COVID-19, which has wreaked havoc on the world’s elderly.

Lucile Randon, now known as Sister Andre and the world’s second oldest person, caught the deadly virus in January but amazingly within three weeks she had been given the all clear, The Associated Press reported.

Sister Andre told the publication she didn’t even realise she had COVID-19 until returning a positive test.

The first thing Sister Andre did after being given the all clear by doctors was attend mass, most likely to count her blessings and thank God.
