In Honor and Remembrance of the Pure and Holy Virgin Mother of God

To those who pray the Shhimtho or have read any Syriac prayers or homilies it is very obvious that Mary is venerated very highly. Thank God our tradition was never touched by the heresies of the reformers. In honor of the Mary I am translating the Safro for the Assumption, which I hope to post sometime next week.

Safro of Monday

I just posted the Safro of Monday, which means this is the second complete day of offices posted.

Monday Lilyo posted

I've just posted Monday Lilyo. This office has particularly beautiful typologies.

Sootoro of Monday posted

I've just finished the Sootoro of Monday. There is a particularly strong bo'oto in the office, which I will discuss below a bit.

Sootoro of Monday's Qolo

Just to give a sneak peak of the Sootoro I've almost finished.

Ramsho of Monday Posted

I've completed another Ramsho office, this one in particular having a strong focus on the reality of the fear we shall feel at Judgment.

Ramsho of Monday Qolo

I have begun translation of the Ramsho of Sunday. The opening Qolo is one of my favorite Syriac hymns and, in fact, is the first Syriac hymn I learned. It is a beautiful Qolo that asks God for mercy at the inevitable judgment.
