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.

3rd Hour of Wednesday

Drawing to a conclusion the offices for Wednesday, this is the office text for the 3rd hour. While brief, it has some interesting imagery.

Wednesday Safro

Like all the offices, the time it refers to in the day is not limited only to the temporal circumstances of that literal day but to the greater eschatological context. In particular, I refer to a very commonly used image in Syriac tradition - the Lord as the master of the vineyard who hires laborers at different hours of the day and pays everyone equally.

Qolo from Tuesday Lilyo

The latest installment I have is the first qolo of Tuesday Lilyo. As with most night offices, it has a particularly eschatological/soteriological feeling. Once again, empathetic of merciful God of the Syriacs, the opening verse is a group of the repentant sinners from Scripture comforting the singer of the qolo. In each of their case, the mercy of God is affirmed.
