Abstract: This paper is a study of certain notions of ‘Divine Mercy’ in the West Syriac liturgical tradition in the light of Word of God and liturgical prayers. The author tries to explore the theme of ‘Mercy’ (rahme) in the liturgical prayers in West Syriac liturgical tradition using certain technical phrases coined with the word rahme. Some of the phrases are “Door of Mercy” (tar’o drahme), “Dew of Mercy” (talā drahme), “Sea of Mercy” (yamā drahme) and “Wings of Mercy” (kenfe drahme).
