Resurrection Propers (and Office Propers in General)

There is great confusion amongst Maronites as to where do we get our seasonal propers from for the office. As I have mentioned previously, this is an erroneous assumption in itself. We do not have seasonal propers. What we do have is proper offices for particular days.

Sootoro of Friday

What is stressed in this office is the reality of those things that are unseen - primarily the efficacy of prayer and the harm of demons contrary to the ideas of modernity.

6th Hour of Wednesday

This is the last office needing to be translated for Sunday-Wednesday, which the total of translated pages to a total of about 220 typed pages.

The bo'oto of this office is the particular item I would like to highlight.

Wednesday Ramsho and Sootoro

A belated blessed feast of Denho (Epiphany) to all my blog readers. Nothing new, but I've been a bit busy. This post contains the links for Wednesday's ramsho and sootoro that I finished quite a while ago but never got the chance to post.

Lilyo Hoosoyo - First Watch

This Hoosoyo from Tuesday's Lilyo is rather beautiful and theologically deep, despite a particularly dense phrasing of ideas.

Verse from the Opening Qolo of Tuesday's Ramsho

I've been very busy as of late and unable to work on translations, other than the last little project below in August. This is the first time in a few weeks I've gotten the chance to pick on Tuesday's Ramsho other than to pray it. As the seasons are changing right now, I find the excerpt from this qolo very appropriate.
