The #Syriac (#Aramaic) word of the day is ܩܘܠܣܐ (qulsā), "praise." Pronounced "qulso." It is actually a Greek word καλός (kalos) meaning "good, well". We use it for "praise," but it is closer to "benediction" (etymologically speaking). #Assyrian#Aramaic#Languages#WOTD
إياك أن تستغل نعمة أو وزنة أو خدمة أعطاها المسيح لك في أن تخدم ذاتك أو تمجدها واعلم انك ان فعلت هذا سوف يأتي الله ويزحزح منارتك سريعاً ويكون لك الويل .

The #Syriac (#Aramaic) word of the day is ܩܘܡ (qūm), "to stand / arise." Pronounced "qum." Cognate with Hebrew קוּם (qūm), Arabic قَامَ (qāma), Akkadian qâmu, and Ge'ez qoma. #Assyrian#Aramaic#Languages#WOTD

The fear of nothing except God.
The absolute aura of His Holiness @MorAphremII, the Patriarch who persevered through Syria’s Civil War & Ottoman Takeover.
The #Syriac (#Aramaic) word of the day is ܡܣܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ (msaybrānūṯā), "patience/endurance." Pronounced "msaybranutho." Job (Iyob ܐܺܝܽܘܒ) comes to mind when I think of patience and endurance. The idea is also related to "hope" (sabro) #Assyrian#Aramaic#Languages#WOTD
Against all odds, the monks of Tur Abdin are keeping an ancient Church alive.
Their numbers have dwindled but their presence remains — one of the few monastic communities left in Turkey.
God bless the Syriac Orthodox Church.
This is our Syriac Orthodox Church. We prostrate as part of our 7 daily prayers. Other Middle Eastern religions adopt similar postures of prayer. In Aramaic, they pray: "Holy are You O God, Holy are You Mighty, Holy are You Immortal, who was crucified for us, have mercy on us."
Today marks the 13th anniversary of the abduction of our shepherds, Mor Gregorius Yohanna Ibrahim and Mor Boulos Yazigi. This remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the world, yet the global community stays silent while our hearts remain broken.
When our archbishops were taken near Aleppo, it was a message that no Christian was safe.
It is a scandal that two men of peace can vanish from the face of the earth without the world demanding answers. We refuse to let their memory be forgotten in the rush to build a new Syria. We deserve the truth about what happened on that road.
May the Lord show us the truth and bring peace to our aching hearts. Amen.
