Editorial Review:
The Shehimo, or the Book of Common Prayer of the Syriac Orthodox Church, contains the daily prayers of the Church. The Syriac Orthodox liturgical tradition observes seven offices of prayer for each of the seven days of the week. According to the Scriptures, the new day begins in the evening and is identified by its number. Thus, the days are recognized as the first day, second day, and so on. This is reflected in Genesis 1:5, “And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.” The offices of prayer are also referred to as the “Hours”. The importance of seven offices is alluded to in Psalm 119:164, ”Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous
laws.” The Hours are in the following order:
1. Ramsho (Vespers, or Evening), which is observed at 6pm.
2. Soutoro (Compline, or Night Protection) at 9pm.
3. Lilio (Night Vigil), which is observed ideally in the middle of the night, but often directly preceding the Morning.
4. Sapro (Matins, or Morning) at 6am.
5. 3rd Hour at 9am.
6. 6th Hour at 12pm.
7. 9th Hour at 3pm.
