Prayer from Kosovo

This prayer can be adapted for the sake of any war-torn land.

God ever and forever save His home in Kosovo. Prayers to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit ever rise from Kosovo, from her heavy hearts, from her spiked rivers, from her blood-saturated soil, where, of her faithful, many receive the crown of martyrdom.

God ever and forever protect His holy remnant in Kosovo, standing watch over the relics of His holy martyrs. Prayers to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit ever and forever rise from Kosovo, from her altars and cells, her huts and coops, her wells and sheds, where her faithful stand for charity and fellowship, as hoards of enemies slander them.

God ever and forever bless His heavenly kingdom in Kosovo. Prayers to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit ever and forever rise from Kosovo, from her hymns and saints, her monastics and hierarchs, her children of Simeon, Sava, and all Nemanje, where all the hosts of heaven and the Most Holy Mother of God embrace her in righteous renewal.

Amen.
