Saint Lazarus of Bethany

Saint Lazarus of Bethany

The story of Lazarus, told in both the Gospel of John and the Gospel of Luke, is a timeless reminder of compassion, humility, and the importance of helping those in need. Lazarus, a poor beggar, suffered greatly during his life but was ultimately carried to Heaven by Angels, while the rich man who ignored him faced eternal torment. This powerful message has inspired countless acts of charity. The name Lazarus means “whom God helps," and we are called to follow this example by supporting these vital charities today.
