Until recently the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch Archdiocese of the Eastern United States made a variety of prayers available on their website. (The URL was http://syrianorthodoxchurch.org/resources/). They were available online as PDF documents. The text of the prayers was formatted in three columns for Syriac, Arabic, and English side by side. In addition, there were accompanying audio files of the chanted Syriac. The entire effort was unique and well done.
The Archdiocese website, however, appears to have been reorganized and the prayer resources can no longer be found or accessed.
IF ANYONE has copies of the PDF or audio files, please contact me. If the Syriac Orthodox Archdioceses will not support the use of their own venerable liturgical language, then at the very least these beautiful prayers should not be lost.
I need copies. I do not merely want them: I need them. I accessed these files periodically for learning and devotional purposes. I hope someone else within the American Archdioceses realizes how important this is. As it stands, Syriac prayers can be found on the following sites:
