This is a daily reading of the Prayers of the Faithful or Divine Office for the Antiochene Syriac Maronite Church.
The
Universal Catholic Church is a communion of autonomous ritual Churches.
Each Church is unique and contributes in her way to the richness
and diversity of the Universal Catholic Church. Although united in the
Holy Spirit by the same faith and the same seven mysteries, each Church
witnesses to Christ throughout history according to her theology and
spirituality using her own culture, language, music, philosophy etc.
The
Universal Catholic Church recognizes that the mystery of God is so vast
that it cannot be contained in one individual Church's culture. In fact,
Pope John Paul II referred to Eastern Churches as the other lung of the Universal Catholic Church.
The
Maronite Church is rich in her theology, spirituality, culture and
traditions. We hope that by providing this forum for you to both listen
and participate in the Maronite Church's unique daily prayer life that
you may find yourself closer to God and through his blessings may
experience a better understanding of and foster a stronger love for the
Maronite Church.
The prayer books we are using can be obtained from the Eparchy of St. Maron of Brooklyn:
