St. Lazarus of Bethany

"Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. (But) even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
- St. Martha to Jesus, John 11:21-22

Today is the feast day of St. Lazarus of Bethany. Lazarus was the brother of St. Martha and St. Mary Magdalene, and was a friend and disciple of Jesus. Besides being a friend of Jesus, Lazarus was also raised from the dead by Jesus after being dead for four days. He lived in Bethany, a suburb of Jerusalem. 

St. Lazarus of Bethany, pray for us!
