The Syrian Fraction For the Feasts of the Cross And Standard Days
Thus truly the Logos of God suffered in the flesh, was slain, bowed on the Cross, and His soul parted from His body, even though His divinity never parted, either from His soul or from His body.
He was pierced with the spear in His side, out of which flowed blood and water for the forgiveness of the whole world; His body was smeared in them, and His soul came and was reunited with His body.
In place of sins which engulf the world, the Son died on the Cross and turned us from the way-of-life on the left to that on the right.
He made peace through the blood of His Cross, uniting and reconciling the heavenly with the earthly, the people with the peoples, and the soul with the body. And on the third day He rose from the tomb.
One is Immanuel, who is indivisible after the union, and undivided into two natures [ie. persons]. Thus we believe, thus we confess, and thus we affirm that this Body belongs to this Blood, and this Blood belongs to this Body.
You are Christ our God, who was pierced in His side on Golgotha at Jerusalem for our sake.
You are the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Forgive our trespasses, and remit our sins, and make us stand at Your right-hand side.
O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed by the cherubim, hallowed by the seraphim, and exalted by thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand of rational servants; who sanctifies and completes the gifts and the fruits that have been brought to You as a sweet savor; sanctify also all of our bodies, souls, and spirits, so that with a pure heart and an unashamed face, we may call upon You, O God, the Father who is in the heavens, and pray, saying,
Our Father....
