Muslim Boy Finds Healing in Church
MUSKEGON, Mich. — It sounds Biblical, but the story of the Catholic priest who converted the Muslim “leper” is from modern-day Lebanon.
“I found Lazarus: He lies at my gate.” So wrote Father Antonio Elfeghali on his “Spiritual Friendship” blog about a suffering boy he found in Lebanon.
Father Elfeghali didn’t walk by this Lazarus. Instead, he gave the boy friendship and a little money. And then he put him in touch with Liz Zagar in Muskegon, Mich., who took him into her home and found him expert medical advice, schooling and his first friends.
