God’s mercy is infinite and His goodness is beyond measure. This is what our Syriac Orthodox Church has always maintained, and thus believes and hopes that the loving Lord will be merciful even to the deceased. For this reason the hymns of our church are composed for a most moving Funeral Service that is full of profound spiritual thoughts.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. JOHN 3:16
