My commitment to Serbia

This afternoon, me and my friend went to see the awesome Japanese cherry blossoms while it lasts. Of course, out of luck I brought my Serbian flag with me. So after the liturgy and went to a town near mine, I made one of the best picture sessions I will ever make in my entire life and also for the Serbian people that an outsider loves and support their country and people.

As I stated on my previous articles about Srbija, I love Srbija as if I came from that country and will fight for them through my articles to further strengthen them and remind them God is with them. God loves us that he sent his only son to save us from our sins through his death on the cross and resurrection. Despite the current situation in Srbija, I believe what I had been praying for their country and my activism will come true. This not false hope because with God, nothing is impossible.

Never forget that once Srbija will find that unity and the way it could start the Serbian Orthodox revival, I may live to see that time they will remove all Godless authorities, traitors and Globalist agents. Who knows that the Serbian Orthodox revival I want to see in the future will be greater than the current Russian Orthodox revival.

As I end writing this article, I will include a prayer for the Serbian people in English by Saint Nikolaj Velimirović:

O, Lord, save Thy people and save me. 

If Thou savest not Thy people and mine, if Thou savest only me, I shall be like a stranger in Heaven.

Hear, O Lord, the supplication of Thy righteous ones, Sava and Nemanja, and save Thy sinful people, sinful though they may be.

As Thou didst save Jerusalem from the godless and the blasphemers, save also Belgrade from the faithless, that salvation may be made known to all as proceeding from Thee, not from men.

Thy people are weakened by waiting, test not their endurance to the end, o Lord. O Lord, weakened are thy people by waiting.

All the Earth is covered with the bodies of thy faithful, we cannot till the soil without the pick sounding against the bones of our kinsmen and echoing painfully in our souls.

There is not a field which is not a cemetery, not a tree which is not a tombstone. All of the Serbian land is a graveyard.

Have mercy, o Lord and save Thy people, with or without me. AMIN+++

Serbian Nationalism is Homegrown and not Foreign backed

Oj Srbi! Ne Oj Slave..Oj Srbi! Kosovo Je Srbija! Živeli Srbija zauvek!

Those are my favorite Serbian nationalistic phrases. I am myself despite being a foreigner and just known more of it's people in just 3 years. I mean, i am not even a Balkan man but i knew a lot, thanks to my research and some people who told me about the countries there, especially in Srbija.

When did Srbija stood up against the Ottomans? The Banat Uprising of 1594, were it ended after the Turks burned the incorruptible relics of Saint Sava in Beograd. But it doesn't stop there. Numerous revolts till the two Serbian uprisings that would be one of the precursors of Serbian independence eventually.

The World Wars came, making Srbija lose it's citizens in a war they fought at first alone but winning everything till the enemies united against a tiny Serbia. Retreating through the mountains till they found haven in Greece and the island Corfu, they reassembled and managed to regain back their homeland. The next world war was a disaster through extermination by the Hrvati NDH and losing their homeland to communists for the next 45 years.

Despite these events, the Serbs still kept their nationalism intact, devoid of any foreign backed money, even from their Russian brothers or other neighbors that are sympathetic to the Serbian Nationalism. It is also evident now by the people themselves, from the internet to mass demonstrations and feeling they need to change the system than what their government wants. Truly a homegrown nationalism.

Ja Molitva Srbiju narod pogođeni jaka kiša

Moja molitva za brate i sestra pogođeni jaka kiša. Pomoć Srbija!

This is my personal prayer for my brothers and sisters in Serbia and Bosnia that lost their loved ones or deeply affected by the heavy rains that swept the two nations in the last 24 hours.

God, with all our sincere prayers, save those deeply affected by the heavy rains that plagued Serbia and Bosnia the past few days. Keep the families safe, make them stronger emotionally to withstand the pain of losing their loved ones, and never let another strong surge of water pass through homes.

Through the Bogorodice, save their lives from another potential life threatening heavy rains and safeguard those who give their very best to help the affected people.

And through the prayers of St. Prince Lazar, strengthen the Serbian nation as it face its difficult part of their history. Never let their courage and Godliness sway in these kind of times!

Amin! +++

God of Justice

Bože pravde

Latinica:

Bože pravde, ti što spase
od propasti dosad nas,
čuj i odsad naše glase
i od sad nam budi spas.

Moćnom rukom vodi, brani
budućnosti srpske brod,
Bože spasi, Bože hrani,(*)
srpske zemlje, srpski rod!(*)

Ćirilica:

Боже правде, ти што спасе
од пропасти досад нас,
чуј и одсад наше гласе
и од сад нам буди спас.

Моћном руком води, брани
будућности српске брод,
Боже спаси, Боже xрани,(*)
српске земље, српски род!(*)

Engleski:

God of Justice, You who saved us
From disasters till this day,
Hear from now on, our voices,
And from now on, save us!

Defend with Your mighty hand,
That very future Serbia walks to,
God save; God protect,(*)
Serbian lands and Serbian people!(*)

To be honest, i am memorizing it although it is just by 30% yet it is on my heart 100%. I am a Serb by heart and that will not change since i hoped to go there. Whether for good reasons, i will be, and always be a Serbophile. When i became a Naturalized Serbian citizen, i will recite this national anthem always because it mentions that in life, there is a God of justice which is our one and only Trinitarian God. We will not let the changing times affect our morals and visions for a better society, through this beautiful national anthem and we memorize it by heart.
