His Beatitude, Patriarch Gregorios III, says, "this is a very tragic situation: prayer needed."

Please lift up in prayer the people of Syria, that the Lord may protect them and led them into peace.

See Patriarch Gregorios III: "Blessed are the peacemakers"

Lord, have mercy!

We pray God to deign to bring back love to the hearts of all Syrians, so that they will have no need of weapons or fear of massacres, for they will be living together, as children of the same family and the same homeland.

We implore him: God of peace, grant peace to our country.

+ Gregorios III
Patriarch of Antioch and All the East,
Of Alexandria and of Jerusalem



Amen! Lord have mercy on Syria, and I ask the Blessed Mother of God and St. Michael the Archangel to protect my Christian brothers and sisters.

Kyrie Eleison!

Abba Father hear the prayers of your faithful priest servant Patriarch Gregorios, add our prayers to his, and protect and restore your Syrian people and protect your Church, your body, calked by your name. Thank you Jesus!

Prayers for our brethren of the Syriac, Maronite, Melkite, Antiochian, Chaldean, and Assyrian Churches in Syria and for all the peoples of Syria, regardless of faith, that their land be returned to a state of peace in which they can live unmolested and practicing their beliefs without fear or harm.
