Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with deep respect: 

“The elder…”
(3 John 1:1)

John – of Your 12 disciples, the one closest to You.

It wasn’t favoritism – that was just how much he loved you
and You loved him right back.

After Your resurrection, He became one of the elders of the Church.

Sentenced to death by being publicly boiled in oil
he should have died on the spot.

But You stunned the crowd when You miraculously spared him.

Since they couldn’t kill him, they banished him to an island
where he kept writing the words You gave him

for the whole world
and me.
