  1. Dear Mr Youkhanis,

    Thank you so much for your work in making these works available! I was wondering if there were any ways of putting basic Syriac-tradition prayers (in Syriac and English) available as a small program for iPhone. It would be such a blessing to have Morning, Evening and Occasional Prayers available. Perhaps an option could be done for the user to select prayers from both East and West Syriac traditions? I would be delighted to help in any way possible. Please email me: edward DOT yong AT gmail DOT com. Thank you again!

    Edward
