Season of Glorious Pentecost: Friday – (Maronite Divine Liturgy)

	Syriac Melody: ܪܰܡܪܶܡܰܝܢܝ
The martyrs resemble trees planted along [water-] sources: trees give fruit, whereas the martyrs give help abundantly.	ܕܳܡܶܝܢ ܣܳܗ̈ܕܶܐ ܠܺܐܝ̈ܠܳܢܶܐ ܆ ܕܰܢܨܺܝܒܺܝܢ ܥܰܠ ܡܰܒ̈ܘܽܥܶܐ ܆ ܐܺܝ̈ܠܳܢܶܐ ܝܳܗܒܺܝܢ ܦܺܐܪ̈ܶܐ ܆ ܘܣܳܗ̈ܕܶܐ ܡܰܪܕܶܝܢ ܥܘܽܕܪ̈ܳܢܶܐ ܀
Chosen ones, [you] who loved God and hated the passing world, supplicate Christ with us that He be merciful on all of us.	ܓܒܰܝ̈ܳܐ ܕܰܐܚܶܒܘ ܠܰܐܠܳܗܳܐ ܆ ܘܰܣܢܰܘ ܠܥܳܠܡܳܐ ܥܳܒܘܽܪܳܐ ܆ ܐܰܦܺܝܣ ܥܰܡܰܢ ܠܰܡܫܺܝܚܳܐ ܆ ܕܢܶܥܒܶܕ ܪ̈ܰܚܡܰܘܗ̱ܝ ܥܰܠ ܟܽܠܰܢ ܀
God, [you] accepted in your mercies the offering of the just of old; accept in your mercies our offering, and be pleased with our prayers.	ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ܕܩܰܒܶܠ ܒܪ̈ܰܚܡܰܘܗ̱ܝ ܆ ܩܘܽܪܒܳܢܳܐ ܕܟܺܐܢ̈ܶܐ ܩܰܕܡ̈ܶܐ ܆ ܩܰܒܶܠ ܒܪ̈ܰܚܡܰܝܟ ܩܘܽܪܒܳܢܰܢ ܆ ܘܶܐܬܪܰܥܳܐ ܒܰܨܠܰܘ̈ܳܬܰܢ ܀
