Lesson
Lesson from the book of Isaias
Isa 49:1-3, 5-7.
Hear me, O coastlands, listen, O distant peoples. The Lord called me from birth, from my mother’s womb He gave me my name. He made of me a sharp-edged sword and concealed me in the shadow of His arm. He made me a polished arrow, in His quiver He hid me. You are My servant, He said to me, Israel, through whom I show My glory. And now says the Lord Who formed me as His servant from the womb, I will make you a light to the nations, that My salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. When kings shall see you, they shall stand up, and princes shall prostrate themselves because of the Lord, the Holy One of Israel Who has chosen you.

Elísabeth implétum est tempus pariéndi, et péperit fílium. Et audiérunt vicíni et cognáti eius, quia magnificávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam cum illa, et congratulabántur ei. Et factum est in die octávo, venérunt circumcídere púerum, et vocábant eum nómine patris sui Zacharíam. Et respóndens mater eius, dixit: Nequáquam, sed vocábitur Ioánnes. Et dixérunt ad illam: Quia nemo est in cognatióne tua, qui vocátur hoc nómine. Innuébant autem patri eius, quem vellet vocári eum. Et póstulans pugillárem, scripsit, dicens: Ioánnes est nomen eius. Et miráti sunt univérsi. Apértum est autem illico os eius et lingua eius, et loquebátur benedícens Deum. Et factus est timor super omnes vicínos eórum: et super ómnia montána Iudææ divulgabántur ómnia verba hæc: et posuérunt omnes, qui audíerant in corde suo, dicéntes: Quis, putas, puer iste erit? Etenim manus Dómini erat cum illo. Et Zacharías, pater eius, repletus est Spíritu Sancto, et prophetávit, dicens: Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israël, quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ.

R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Luke 1:57-68
Elizabeth’s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she brought forth a son. And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified His mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him by his father’s name, Zachary. And his mother answered and said, Not so, but he shall be called John. And they said to her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name. And they kept inquiring by signs of his father what he would have him called. And asking for a writing-tablet he wrote the words, John is his name. And they all marveled. And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak, blessing God. And fear came on all their neighbors; and all these things were spoken abroad in all the hill country of Judea. And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and wrought redemption for His people.
R. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
Credo
Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, factórem cæli et terræ, visibílium ómnium et invisibílium. Et in unum Dóminum Iesum Christum, Fílium Dei unigénitum. Et ex Patre natum ante ómnia sǽcula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Génitum, non factum, consubstantiálem Patri: per quem ómnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútem descéndit de cælis. Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sancto ex María Vírgine: Et homo factus est. Crucifíxus étiam pro nobis: sub Póntio Piláto passus, et sepúltus est. Et resurréxit tértia die, secúndum Scriptúras. Et ascéndit in cælum: sedet ad déxteram Patris. Et íterum ventúrus est cum glória iudicáre vivos et mórtuos: cuius regni non erit finis. Et in Spíritum Sanctum, Dóminum et vivificántem: qui ex Patre Filióque procédit. Qui cum Patre et Fílio simul adorátur et conglorificátur: qui locútus est per Prophétas. Et unam sanctam cathólicam et apostólicam Ecclésiam. Confíteor unum baptísma in remissiónem peccatórum. Et exspécto resurrectiónem mortuórum. Et vitam ventúri sæculi. Amen.
13
Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things, visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. And born of the Father, before all ages. God of God: Light of Light: true God of true God. Begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. And became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary: and was made man. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end.
And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, proceeding from the Father and the Son. Who together, with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified: Who spoke by the prophets. And in one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the resurrection of the dead. And the life of the world to come. Amen.

Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: Et tuam in beáto Ioánne Bapísta Præcursóre magnificéntiam collaudáre, qui vocem Matris Dómini nondum éditus sensit, et adhuc clauso útero, advéntum salútis humánæ prophética exsulatióne significávit.

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God. And to praise Thy magnificence also in blessed John the Baptist, the Precursor, who, yet unborn, felt the voice of the Mother of the Lord, and, yet enclosed in the womb, foreshadowed with prophetic exultation the advent of human salvation: Whose conception removed the sterility of his mother and whose birth loosed the tongue of his father: who alone among all the prophets pointed to the Redeemer of the world, Whom he foretold: and, that the nature of water might take on the effect of sacred purification for those to be sanctified in the flow of the Jordan, washed in baptism the Author of Baptism Himself. And therefore with the Angels and Archangels, with the Thrones and Dominions, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing a hymn to Thy glory, evermore saying:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth! Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

Meménto, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuarum N. et N. et ómnium circumstántium, quorum tibi fides cógnita est et nota devótio, pro quibus tibi offérimus: vel qui tibi ófferunt hoc sacrifícium laudis, pro se suísque ómnibus: pro redemptióne animárum suárum, pro spe salútis et incolumitátis suæ: tibíque reddunt vota sua ætérno Deo, vivo et vero.
Be mindful, O Lord, of Thy servants and handmaidens, N. and N. and of all here present, whose faith and devotion are known unto Thee, for whom we offer, or who offer up to Thee, this sacrifice of praise for themselves, their families and friends, for the redemption of their souls, for the health and salvation they hope for; and who now pay their vows to Thee, the everlasting, living and true God.

We therefore beseech Thee, O Lord, graciously to accept this oblation of our service, as also of Thy whole family;
and to dispose our days in Thy peace, preserve us from eternal damnation, and rank us in the number of Thine Elect. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Quam oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quǽsumus, bene + díctam, adscríp + tam, ra + tam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis Cor + pus, et San + guis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri Iesu Christi.
Which oblation do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all respects, to bless, + approve, + ratify, + make worthy and acceptable; that it may be made for us the Body + and Blood + of Thy most beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Qui prídie quam paterétur, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, elevátis óculis in cælum ad te Deum, Patrem suum omnipoténtem, tibi grátias agens, bene + díxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et manducáte ex hoc omnes.
Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and with His eyes lifted up towards heaven unto Thee, God, His almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, He blessed + it, broke it and gave it to His disciples saying: Take and eat ye all of this,

HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.

FOR THIS IS MY BODY.

29

In like manner, after He had supped, taking also this excellent chalice into His holy and venerable hands He blessed + , and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this,

HIC EST ENIM CALIX SANGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET ÆTERNI TESTAMENTI: MYSTERIUM FIDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDETUR IN REMISSIONEM PECCATORUM.


Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis, in mei memóriam faciétis.
30

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT, THE MYSTERY OF FAITH; WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.


As often as ye do these things, ye shall do them in remembrance of Me.

Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, eiúsdem Christi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri, tam beátæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præcláræ maiestáti tuæ de tuis donis ac datis, hóstiam + puram, hóstiam + sanctam, hóstiam + immaculátam, Panem + sanctum vitæ ætérnæ, et Cálicem + salútis perpétuæ.
31

Wherefore, O Lord, we Thy servants, as also Thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed Passion of the same Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, and also His Resurrection from the dead and His glorious Ascension into heaven: do offer unto Thy most excellent Majesty of Thine own gifts, bestowed upon us, a pure + Host, a holy + Host, an unspotted + Host, the holy + Bread of eternal life, and the Chalice + of everlasting salvation.

32

Upon which vouchsafe to look with a propitious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as Thou wert graciously pleased to accept the gifts of Thy just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and that which Thy high priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy Sacrifice, and unspotted Victim.
Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus: iube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínæ maiestátis tuæ: ut, quotquot ex hac altáris participatióne sacrosánctum Fílii tui Cor + pus, et Sán + guinem sumpsérimus, omni benedictióne cælésti et grátia repleámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

Iunctis manibus prosequitur:
In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est: in ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt.
Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Ioánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine.
Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine eius: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. Genuflectit dicens: Et Verbum caro factum est, Et surgens prosequitur: et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam eius, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis.

R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 1, 1-14

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light.
That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.

Washington’s role in Sevastopol terror attack indisputable — MFA

"Four people died, among them a two-year-old playing on the city beach and a nine-year-old girl," while as many as 151 people sought medical help, 82 of them were hospitalized, according to the statement

MOSCOW, June 24. /TASS/. Moscow has no doubt that Washington was involved in the attack on Sevastopol, and a response to this crime is coming, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

"The US’ involvement in this horrible crime is beyond any doubt," the ministry pointed out. "A response to this crime will certainly follow," it said.

"On June 23, the Kiev regime, with the support of the United States and its satellites, committed another heinous terrorist crime against the civilian population of Russia. Sevastopol came under attack," the statement said. "One of the most important Orthodox holidays - the day of the Holy Trinity - was intentionally chosen for the terrorist attack."

"Four people died, among them a two-year-old playing on the city beach and a nine-year-old girl. As many as 151 people sought medical help, 82 of them were hospitalized - 55 adults and 27 children, many are in serious condition. Everyone is receiving quality medical care," the ministry said. "According to the Russian Defense Ministry, American ATACMS tactical missiles were used, equipped with cluster warheads to inflict maximum damage. All flight paths were entered by US specialists based on their own satellite reconnaissance data. An American Global Hawk reconnaissance drone was on duty in the skies near Crimea."

Russia's Investigative Committee "has launched a probe into the crime." "All those responsible for this and other terrorist attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation will be brought to justice," the Foreign Ministry emphasized. "Washington and its satellites have created and fostered the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, actively nurturing and supporting their Ukrainian puppets, waging war against Russia with their hands and encouraging them to commit acts of international terrorism, to kill Russian civilians, including with the use of one of the most terrible types of inhumane weapons - cluster munitions," it stressed.

Western countries "continue to criminally sweep under the rug the barbaric deeds of the [Vladimir] Zelensky regime. There has been no condemnation from international organizations either. The Russian Federation once again calls on them to give a proper assessment of this latest atrocity of the Kiev regime and the West," the Foreign Ministry said.

"Russia expresses its sincere gratitude for the condolences extended by officials of friendly states, as well as representatives of the European and American public. Words of sympathy continue to arrive," it went on to say.

"We mourn with all of Sevastopol, where a day of mourning has been declared today. We express our condolences to the relatives of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to those injured," the statement summed up.

AN EFFECTIVE RECIPE FOR RETURN

Serbian notes

If I forget thee, O Kosovo my Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten. Let my tongue cleave to my throat if I forget thee, O my Metohija, if I do not have thee as the opening of my song.

Bishop Atanasije (Jevtic)

Vranje. St. Nicholas Monastery.Vranje. St. Nicholas Monastery.    

Babylonian captivity is a recurring phenomenon, not a singular event. This can be seen in the example of Kosovo and Metohija. Serbs no longer feel that their own land belongs to them, and visits to Kosovo have become practically impossible for Russians. Much has been said about the reasons for captivity and the humiliation of peoples—both in the ancient Jewish days and in modern-day Serbia. Prophets, holy hierarchs, venerable fathers, and martyrs have even shouted about this: Our troubles are the direct consequences of our own sins and forgetfulness of God. The antidote has not changed a bit; it has remained relevant since ancient times: change your life, become a real Christian, put Christ first in your life—and all other things will fall into their proper place. To put it simply, active repentance is required. Easier said than done…

The Serbs have an answer: while realizing your unworthiness, help your neighbor, work conscientiously, and pray. “The remedy is old but effective. It does not spoil and is proven by centuries,” say my conversation partners, Nikola Vasic and Stefan Mirkovic, staff workers of the Kosovsko Pomoravlje charitable organization, who specially arrived in the border city of Vranje in the south of the country. Now our “Kosovo talks” take place either here or in nearby monasteries. I handed over aid from our readers to them, and they shared the latest news.

The happiest news was shared by Nikola, who was stuttering with excitement: Maria Vasic, his wife, has given birth to a baby girl named Nadezda, who is truly a bundle of joy.

“Imagine—I’ve become a father! I felt both scared and happy. At first I was afraid to take the baby into my arms, but now it’s fine, and I’ve gotten used to it. Maria feels well, now everyone is at home. As you see, the girl’s name was chosen purposely—Nadezda means ‘hope’. We really need to place our hopes on Christ.”

Vologda felt boots, a gift to a young Serbian woman from the skilled shoemaker Nikolai Alfeyevich Saikin, who is concerned about our sister nation, brought delight. "Rest assured that now we are not afraid of any cold," he said. However, there was also some bad news. At the beginning of January, just before the Nativity, the barn and livestock fodder of Aleksandar Jevtic from Kosovska-Kamenitsa was burned. Nikola said, "It was a great blow to him. A thirty-year-old peasant, he has lived for years solely by sheep farming. With a heavy heart and embarrassment, he turned to our organization and to everyone who can help with a request to assist him with repairs. Restoration costs, according to our estimates, will be around 3,000 euros, and it will be a great support for Aleksandar. I repeat: the peasant lives by sheep breeding; farming is his main occupation. In our opinion, this occupation is a very worthy one. The guy does not wear out the seat of his pants in coffee shops to chat over rakia but works hard from morning to evening. So we really want to help him and call on our friends to do the same. God willing, it will work."

I wondered whether the Serbs could move around their native land and whether there were any obstacles put up by their "dear Albanian neighbors" and their American bosses. "Actually," they answered after thinking, "you can drive relatively easily, observing safety precautions. After all, you see, this is Kosovo, and you can't go wherever you want. You won't be received with outstretched arms everywhere. Recently we visited Serbs in the south of the region, in Metohija. Would you like us to tell you this story?" Of course, I did. This is what they told us

Serbian "downshifting"

Not far from the village of Istog live most of the Serbs who returned to Kosovo and Metohija. During the war in 1999 and the unrest of 2004, people left their homes. Some left with the army, others fled later, when the tyranny of the new authorities began. Now they are slowly returning, despite the difficulties. To return to your home in an occupied region requires superhuman will, strength, and courage. But, as these people say, it's worth it: they feel that their youth is returning, and that life, after so many years of wandering, has a purpose again.

As you drive, you look around and see ruined empty houses, walls riddled with bullets and shrapnel, and neglected fields -- such a "greeting" from the recent past. You understand that you have come to a place where the war has never ended thus far. Chaotically overgrown bushes cover the empty windows in the once rich village of Zac... It's probably like finding yourself in the Old Testament when the first captives released by the Babylonian king had just come to the destroyed Jerusalem.

We arrived in Istog early in the morning and were very tired. We felt like a cup of coffee and just relaxing. But Petko Miletic was already waiting for us. He waved his hands, shouting, "Come here, I've prepared everything!" We drove along the bad road up to his house. Petko is raising his daughter Tamara and son Lazar alone. Both of them go to school. What do they do for a living? They cultivate land and breed livestock and poultry. How else can you stay afloat in this area? There are no jobs for Serbs. But they hold on and do it seriously; they work conscientiously.

They sell their produce at the market in Kosovska-Mitrovica when they can travel there safely. It's almost 95 miles away, so it's 190 miles there and back. But they hold firmly to their native land—their grandparents and great-grandparents lived here, and according to Petko, "there's nothing to do in a foreign land where you're like a tree without its roots." Incidentally, he was born in Belgrade, and the house and land in Metohija belonged to his grandmother.

"But, you see, I couldn't sleep when I lived in the capital with its hustle and bustle, realizing that my real homeland was in Kosovo and Metohija. Here we are at home. As for Belgrade, it's so-so. I can't be a resident of the capital--I want to live in my native village." Such is the Serbian "downshifting."

Of course, for his children, everything is new and interesting here. It's good that their father is a handyman and works hard—he tends the household so that they don't starve and don't complain.

"I will stay here anyway. I want my children to truly love their native land and to be the masters here. I do all in my power to ensure that they have everything they need both at home and at school. When they grow up, they will decide for themselves whether to stay here or not."

Tamara is going to study psychology at the University of Pristina (now in Kosovska-Mitrovica), while Lazar concentrates more on programming. They don't long for life in the capital; there is hustle and bustle there, while it is beautiful here. And their peers from Belgrade are jealous; they respect such a serious and selfless choice.

We are heading to Osojane, a village that was burned to the ground during the war, and all the Serbs were expelled. However, the Serbs are a stubborn nation, and two years later, they returned and began to restore houses and farms. Everyone looked at them as if they were crazy—they slept in barns and worked during the day, persistently building walls, roofing houses, glazing windows, and painting. The monks from surviving monasteries and the bishops considered this return a miracle. Now, there is a secondary school in Osojane with forty students, two more branches in other villages, and a school named after St. Sava of Serbia, thank God, with a sufficient number of students from this area.

Right in Osojane, there is St. Nicholas Church, which was first mined and then destroyed during the war. After the Serbs' return, the church was restored, and now services are celebrated in it. The rector, Fr. Dalibor Koic, welcomed us cordially. In the church's courtyard, there is a monument to all the fallen and missing residents of the Istog community. The list of names is long, and alas, still incomplete.

    

A village of heroes is located in this region that, like a real hero, overcame all attacks and attempts to expel the Serbs. It is called Crkolez and lies in the lowlands near the Mokra Gora Mountain. There has been a joke about Crkolez since the war: a KFOR (the Kosovo Force) soldier asks an Albanian what kind of people live in Crkolez. They are being attacked from all sides, but they are defending themselves, as if there were a whole Serbian division in the village, and not a handful of locals. The Albanian replies: "I have lived here all my life and know these Serbs well. If they were sane, they would have fled long ago." Such are the "insane" Serbs. This naturally makes us glad. The self-irony of locals, their willingness to defend their churches, their honesty, and knightly dignity—they will never take anything that doesn't belong to them. That is why the Albanians both respect them and are somewhat afraid of them, we must admit.

Working on their native land quietly and conscientiously and breeding livestock, the villagers have never thought of selling a single meter of their land. "If there was no land, there would be no us," they say. "Our business is to work and not lose heart." There is also a school with eleven children there, and a dispensary in the school building. "We don’t need much--we have everything we need, and there’s nothing to complain about." They speak calmly, look straight ahead, and live soundly.

The village Church of St. John the Baptist was built back in the fourteenth century. In 1355, it was set up by Voivode Radoslav, who was tonsured with the name Jovan. The church became the metochion of the Athonite St. Panteleimon’s Monastery. Tradition has it that at the entrance to the church, a sapling of a tree from the Patriarchate of Pec Monastery, one of the major shrines of Kosovo and Metohija, has been growing for centuries. "Our church keeps us as long as we keep it," a boy near the church said. We noticed that here, in Crkolez, most residents are young, and this inspires hope.

Love and consent in response to thefts and robbery

The last village in the south of the region, where we arrived that day, is called Ljubozda. Thirteen families returned here in 2017, and they convince us by their example that nothing can ever be achieved without love and consent.

As is the case with the vast majority of Kosovar Serbs, the villagers' occupation is farming. According to them, the main trouble is thefts and the destruction of property. Sometimes they are away for a short while (for work matters or to go to a doctor), and they always keep in mind that their "dear neighbors" can steal or spoil something. For instance, they like stealing equipment.

“Well, we are already used to it and have become more cautious. If you have nothing but your hands, they have nothing to steal,” one local man jokes. His jokes are sad, but he smiles.

The people of Ljubozda know what mutual help is, and they appreciate it. They will always support each other, so no one seems to be discouraged.

    

There are some people who have returned to their homes. Every evening, the whole village meets at someone's house--there is always a reason for a good meeting. True, they remember the olden times and trials, but they aren’t hung up on them. They talk more about how to properly develop the village, what needs to be done, say, tomorrow or this week so that such-and-such a street can look better. In addition to the households, they have renovated and cleaned several churches and cemeteries and started collecting local folklore, legends, and stories--both new and old.

One of the oldest churches in Serbia is here, along with an ancient cemetery, which is carefully looked after by locals. The medieval Monastery of the Mother of God of Hvosno (Hvostanska) is known as Khvostanska Studenica, or Mala (Small) Studenica--only its foundations have remained. There also used to be a sixth-century basilica. When the Serbian Church became autocephalous in 1219, the monastery was the residence of seven Primates of the Church. But, of course, there is also an active church in Ljubozda--spiritual life does not only consists of sad ruins.

Metohija is monastic soil, a land of holy monasteries. Because it belongs to holiness, both the land itself and the people inhabiting it have suffered and continue to suffer. It is not easy to be a Serb and Orthodox in your native land--the price for your faithfulness to Christ and the Fatherland is often very high, sometimes even life itself. But, as our those with whom we spoke during the last trip around the region say, “How can we renounce the truth?” There is only one truth here, although it is not engraved in golden letters on monuments or in epitaphs: “Without Christ you can do nothing.” With God alone the Serbs can overcome all troubles and sorrows.

Nikola hurried to his family. Stefan and I looked at each other knowingly—a father's duty! We agreed to meet again, God willing. The guys rushed off to Kosovo and Metohija--the border is very close. As I walked around the city I recalled their words: "Without God, without repentance, without labor we will not achieve anything." I completely agree with them.
