(pág.13) PRAY FOR THE BALKANS From: Marilyn & Barry Smith
ORACION POR LOS BALCANES
Maybe, if we all lift up our voices... Please print this out and
include it in your daily devotions, forward it to everybody you know that prays.
This was posted on AOL. A chain of prayers can prevent a disastrous chain of events.
Dearest friends: I'm not sure whether this is the correct folder for this, but I thought it important to share this prayer from 'Abdu'l-Baha and hope that we can use it to mitigate the conflict in the Balkans.
Warm regards, Shirley
O Thou Kind Almighty!
We supplicate at the throne of grace for mercy for our sins;
mercy for the great destruction of life, the blood that has
been shed in the Balkans, the children that are being made
orphans, the mothers losing their dear sons, the sons who
have become fatherless, the cities that have been destroyed,
the many hearts that have been filled with blood, the many
tears that are being shed and the many spirits that are
in a state of agitation!
O Lord! Be merciful! Extinguish this spirit of war, this
consuming fire, this peril, this gloomy darkness, from the
face of the earth. Cement together these hearts. Let the
Sun of truth dawn upon all.
O Lord! this world is dark. Guide us toward a brilliant light;
the horizons are gloomy with the clouds of war; disperse these
impenetrable clouds. Grant us a holiness and calm; dispose of
these quarrels; illuminate the horizon of life, so that the sun
of real loyalty may shine with his rays. May these dark hearts
become illuminated, may these blind eyes become open, may these
deaf ears become gifted with hearing.
O Lord! Cause Thy divine justice to appear in this world.
Summon these people to the banquet of international peace, so
that they may live together in the utmost state of love. May all the religions and all nations embrace each other with this
spirit of universal kindness, and may hatred be forgotten.
O Lord! Confirm this just government in the establishment of
peace, so that it may hold aloft the banner of reconciliation
in the Balkans. May the light of love shine and flame forth
undefiled.
O Lord! Thou art Almighty, Thou art Merciful, Thou art Clement,
Thou art Kind!
`Abdu'l-Baha
The is a prayer of `Abdu'l-Baha for the Balkans.
Given the situation in Bosnia at present, it would appear
to have become timely again. The translation below was
