LAZARUS AND HIS SISTERS WERE ARISTOCRATS. THEIR WEALTH INCLUDED A CASTLE WITH A KINGS' LINEAGE. LAZARUS AND HIS TWO SISTERS OWNED PROPERTY NEAR NAZARETH, BETHANY AND JERUSALEM. THEY HAD KNIGHTS AND SERVANTS AT THEIR DISPOSAL. ONCE JESUS ASCENDED, LAZARUS AND HIS SISTERS SOLD EVERYTHING THEY OWNED. THRU THE YEARS, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST WHO HAVE RENOUNCED THEIR WEALTH. SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI WAS WEALTHY AND UPON BECOMING A MONK, FORFEITED IT ALL. MOTHER THERESA RENOUNCED HER FAMILYS' WEALTH UPON BECOMING A NUN.
