Saint James Vicariate For Hebrew Speaking Catholics in Israel
Our Father in Syriac-Aramaic
Some of the Eastern Churches still use in their liturgies the Syriac language, a language very close to Jesus's own Aramaic. We have gathered a few versions of "The Lord's Prayer" in Syriac and we post them here with the request that as we listen we pray for the Christians of Iraq in their moment of great suffering. Many of them pray the Lord's Prayer in Syriac too.
